Prepare Meatloaf

  • In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, bell pepper, jalapeno, onions, onion powder, garlic powder, all purpose seasoning, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix them together.

Make Bourbon Sauce

  • In a pot, add apricot jam, dark brown sugar, sriracha, bourbon, barbecue sauce, and water. Cook on low heat until smooth and bring to a boil.

Assemble and Bake

  • On a tray lined with foil, start building half of your meatloaf mixture. Then fill with cheese and add the rest of the meatloaf on top, shaping it down.
  • Spread a layer of the bourbon glaze over the meatloaf and bake at 350F for about 60 minutes uncovered, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 155F. If needed, cover with foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
