Can’t handle the heat?
That’s okay! You can easily leave the jalapeno out of this meatloaf recipe to keep the heat out of the kitchen. Jalapeno adds extra flavor and heat, but this meatloaf is still delicious without it.
Plain bread crumbs or Italian style bread crumbs?
This recipe calls for plain bread crumbs and the addition of Italian seasoning. If you have Italian bread crumbs, feel free to use those in place of both!
What kind of ground beef should I use to make meatloaf?
When it comes to meatloaf, you don’t want to use ground beef that has too high of a fat content or your meatloaf will be greasy. Use too low of a fat content and your meatloaf may dry out. The best meatloaf is made with an 85/15 fat ratio. You can find the fat ratio listed on your package of ground beef.
