Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning blend
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- 24 ounces ground beef
- 2 jalapenos minced
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups ground spicy pork rinds
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves plus more for garnish if wanted, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pink salt
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Combine the cream cheese, Mexican spice blend, and ranch seasoning in a food processor until well blended. Place the cream cheese mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, jalapenos, eggs, pork rinds, cilantro, and salt, just until combined.
- Separate the meat mixture into 4 even portions.
- Remove the cream cheese mixture from the refrigerator and separate the mixture into 4 even portions.
- Press 2/3rds of a meat mixture portion into the bottom of a mini loaf pan.
- Roll a portion of the cream cheese mixture into a cylinder and press it lightly into the ground beef mixture in the loaf pan.
- Top with the remaining 1/3 of the meat mixture and carefully remove from the loaf pan, pressing all seams together so the cream cheese is sealed inside.
- Beginning at one end of the mini meatloaf, wrap 2 pieces of bacon around it until completely covered, trimming any excess if necessary.
- Place the meatloaves on the sheet pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the cheddar cheese, return to the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the meatloaves from the oven and top with chopped cilantro if using.
