Mexican Meatloaf
This Mexican Meatloaf is the perfect twist on a classic. It has wonderful reviews and it’s a wonderful week night meal!
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried cilantro leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash hot pepper sauce or Tabasco optional
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning I used my recipe for homemade taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion or regular onion
- 1/2 cup chopped red or green sweet peppers
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 10 ounce cans Rotel tomatoes with green chilis (well drained)
- 1 egg
- 2 cups crushed tortilla chips or corn chips divided (I used tostado chips)
Topping for Mexican meatloaf:
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese I used a Finely Shredded Fiesta Blend that is a combination of Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero Cheese that came from Walmart
-
Mix together in a large mixing bowl the ground beef with the minced garlic, cilantro, pepper, salt, hot sauce and taco seasoning.
-
Fold in the onions, peppers, corn, drained tomatoes, egg and 1 1/2 cups of the crushed tortilla chips.
-
Form into a loaf and place in baking dish (I used a 9 x 13). Bake in preheated 350 degree oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove and add the salsa, crushed tortilla chips and cheese to the top of the meatloaf. Raise the oven heat to 375 and bake for 35 more minutes uncovered. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
You could add a dollop of sour cream to cooked meatloaf slices along with more salsa when serving.
