1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2

Combine the ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the corn, cornbread, sour cream, pepperjack cheese, onion, milk, egg, jalapeno peppers, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper. Gently fold the corn mixture into the meat mixture, shape it into a rounded loaf, and place it in the prepared baking dish.
3

Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). If the loaf is getting too brown, loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
