I was all over this cheesy pepper jack meatloaf recipe when I came across. It's like a Juicy Lucy burger but in meatloaf form.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup celery diced
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- 1 cup saltine crackers crumbled
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups Pepper Jack cheese shredded
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ⅛ teaspoon chili powder
- kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Spray a loaf pan or baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Combine the beef, celery, onion, crackers, and eggs. Mix well. Get in there with your hands and work it!
- Place half of the meat into the pan. If you're using a baking dish, form the meat into a loaf.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the meat.
- Add the remaining meat on top and pinch down along the sides to seal the cheese inside.
- Spread ketchup over the top of the meat and sprinkle with chili powder, salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan with lose-fitting foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and increase oven temperature to 425 F.
- Let bake another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf is 160 F.
- Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Great on thick bread and served as sandwiches, too!
