Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 1 pound ground chicken
• cooking spray
• 1 bunch green onions, diced
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
• 1 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
• 3 links chicken sausage, or more to taste
• 1 cup crumbled blue cheese, divided
• 0.75 cup bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Remove chicken sausage from its casing and place in a large bowl with ground chicken.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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).
