- Transfer the chiles to a blender, add 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid (save the rest) and blend until smooth. Add the honey, vinegar and some salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. If the glaze is too thick to spread on the meatloaf, add a bit more of the soaking liquid.

- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the poblanos and onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly,
- Whisk the eggs with a splash of water in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add in the ground chuck and ground pork, the cooled onion mixture and the chips and cilantro; mix until just combined.
- Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and form into an oval loaf about 6 by 12 inches. Bake for 45 minutes, then begin to brush with a good amount of the red chile glaze. Bake, glazing occasionally, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes longer.

MOM'S SECRET INGREDIENT MEATLOAF
My mother made the best meatloaf in town, but would never share her recipe saying it was just a basic meatloaf recipe with a "secret ingredient". Now all MY family and friends beg for this meatloaf, but only my daughter knows the secret ingredient -- now you will too. You will get raves on this one!

Steps:
- Mix ground chuck with breadcrumbs.
- (extra lean works well too).
- Add salt,pepper and egg.
- Mixing with you hands now, add the Heinz Chili Sauce and the milk.
- Seperate the mixture in half and form 2 loaves.
- They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
- Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
- Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
- Check for firmness.
- Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
- Tips---------.
- If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
- Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
- This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use a combination of lean and fatty ground beef for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. An 80/20 blend is a good option.
- Add some vegetables: Grated carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms add moisture and nutrients to the meatloaf. You can also stir in cooked rice or quinoa for a heartier loaf.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan. You can also use a bundt pan or muffin tins for individual meatloaves.
- Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the chili sauce: While the meatloaf is baking, make the chili sauce. Combine chili sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Glaze the meatloaf with chili sauce: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the chili sauce over the top. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe for meatloaf with chili sauce is a delicious twist on the traditional dish. The chili sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the savory meatloaf perfectly. This recipe is sure to become a new favorite in your family's recipe box.
