Provided by Angela

Categories     Beef Dishes     Dinner Recipes     Main Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground beef ((lean ground beef up to 80/20 ground chuck))
1 1/2 cups tortilla chips ((crushed))
3/4 cup pepper jack cheese ((or a combination with cheddar or Colby, grated))
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs ((at room temperature))
1 packet taco seasoning mix ((1 ounce, or see recipe))
1/2 Tbsp dried minced onion
1/3 cup red taco sauce ((mild or medium))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium to large-sized mixing bowl combine the meatloaf ingredients (ground beef, tortilla chips, cheese, milk, eggs, taco seasoning, dried minced onion) with the exception of the taco sauce. Mix just enough to combine, and do not over-mix the meatloaf.
  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan and shape the loaf (leaving a well around the edges gives the fat somewhere to drain off to).
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, then remove the meatloaf and top with red taco sauce if desired. Return to your oven and continue cooking an additional 10-15 minutes (55-60 minutes total) or until the meatloaf has an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) before serving.
  • Remove the fully cooked meatloaf from your oven and loosely tent with a sheet of aluminum foil. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
