MEATLOAF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I love meatloaf, and tend to make large ones to ensure that there will be leftovers (nothing is better the next day than a cold meatloaf sandwich!). But sometimes I end up with half of a 3-pound meatloaf and nobody wants sandwiches, so here's what I make to use it in a tasty, fast, and easy way... Note: there is no salt added to the recipe because the salt that's contained in the tortilla chips and meatloaf, but you'll need to judge that for yourself; this one can easily get too salty if you're not careful. :)

- Place the meatloaf on top of the chips, sprinkle with onion, cumin, and cayenne, half of the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses (mixing them together works well), then spread the chili over.
- Top with remaining chips, then evenly pour over the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes covered (or longer, depending on your oven), then 5-10 minutes uncovered until cheese is browned to preference, or microwave for 7 minutes covered and bake for 10 minutes uncovered.

Tips:
- Use a variety of ground meats: This recipe calls for a combination of ground beef and ground pork, but you can use any type of ground meat that you like. Ground turkey, chicken, or lamb would all be good options.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The meatloaf should fill the loaf pan about 2/3 full. If the pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This southwestern enchilada-flavored meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of ground beef, ground pork, and enchilada sauce gives the meatloaf a unique and flavorful taste. Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
