Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, and eggs. Mix everything together until it’s well-combined. Then, fold in the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and bacon bits if you’re using them. I love how colorful and vibrant this mixture looks! The textures blend together beautifully, and the smell is divine. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
