Jalapeño and cheddar are great combined on appetizer plates, and they're great here, turning Grandma (or Ma's) meatloaf into something with a little more oomph and jazz. The cheese goes in, adding to the flavor and texture of the loaf. And the jalapeño jelly goes on the outside, coating the loaf with sweet slight heat. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
