Jalapeno Pepper Loaves

Posted on Aug 28, 2019 in Beef, Breakfast, Lunch/Dinner

“Jalapeno Pepper Loaves”

These little loaves are a dinner specialty for both family & friends at my house and can me made a day ahead so you can enjoy your guests once they arrive. I usually serve them alongside a big, crisp green salad.

Ingredients: (serves: 6)

Set oven at 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper in preparation for cooking the loaves

1.5 lbs. organic, grass-finished ground beef
1/4 cup chopped, organic onion
4 gloves organic garlic, minced
2 organic eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. organic Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. ground, organic black pepper
1 Tbsp. organic, mustard powder
2 tsp. organic coconut liquid aminos
8 oz. organic, cream cheese, softened
6 slices organic, nitrate-fee bacon
6 jalapeno peppers

In large bowl mix together the beef, onion, garlic, eggs, Italian seasoning, pepper, mustard powder and liquid aminos until completely combined. Divide into six parts.

Cut off stem of each pepper, leaving a wide opening, in order to remove all the seeds from each one. Fill cleaned-out pepper with the softened cream cheese.

Now, flatten each part of the divided meat so it can be evenly wrapped around each cheese-filled pepper. Repeat for each pepper. Then wrap each pepper-filled loaf with a slice of bacon (may need to use toothpick to thoroughly secure the bacon in place).

Arrange the completed loaves on the parchment paper with plenty of room between each one so they thoroughly brown. Cooking time will be 40-60 minutes, or until bacon is nicely browned with meat ends looking well-done as in picture.
