Tonight I have a full house for dinner: 3 grandkids and my daughter. I will be making the yummy and already posted Cowboy Meatloaf Casserole....so...what to post for today? How about another excellent meatloaf recipe...this one with a Mexican twist. This recipe came from Cooking Light magazine.
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped red pepper
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. ground cumin
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. minced canned chipolte chili in adobo sauce ( You can find it in the grocery store in the mexican food area: just use one chili and freeze the rest in a ziplock bag for other recipes)
1 1/2# ground meat ( turkey or beef)
3/4 c. breadcrumbs
2/3 c. salsa
1 t. oregano
2 eggs
3/4 c. cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack or a mix of the two
Preheat oven to 350. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Add onion, red pepper, chili powder, cumin and garlic to pan. Saute 1 1/2 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in chipolte chile, saute 30 seconds. Remove from pan, cool. Combine onion mixture, beef, breadcrumbs, salsa, oregano, and egg.
Place half of beef mixture in an 8 x 4 loaf pan coated with spray. Arrange cheese over top top, then arrange remaining beef on top. Spread the remaining 1/3 c. salsa over the top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Yields 6 servings.
