Recipe View Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful meatloaf. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using freshly ground cornbread made with butter or bacon fat.
Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your desired level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes completely.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would all be delicious.
A simple tomato glaze can be added during the last 15 minutes of baking for extra flavor and visual appeal.
