Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 links chicken sausage, or more to taste
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 bunch green onions, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- ½ white onion, diced
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese, divided
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce, divided
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Remove chicken sausage from its casing and place in a large bowl with ground chicken.
- Set aside 1/4 cup each of green onions, celery, jalapeno peppers, and white onion. Add remaining green onions, celery, jalapeno peppers, and white onion to the ground chicken-sausage mixture; mix to combine. Mix in 3/4 cup blue cheese, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce, eggs, onion powder, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are incorporated and chopped vegetables are evenly distributed. Scrape mixture out of the bowl with a spatula into the prepared loaf pan.
- Pour remaining 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce on top of meatloaf. Sprinkle with reserved green onions, celery, jalapeno peppers, white onion, and remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sides begin to bubble and shrink away from the edges of the pan, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Reviews
I don’t usually try recipes that have no reviews but decided someone had to be first. We LOVE hot, spicy foods, but this was a little overwhelming. It was good but I think I would prefer it as meatballs served as an appetizer. I topped it with some Provolone to tame it down a bit and served with Ranch and Blue Cheese dressing. Definitely a good experiment…
