6 ounces soft Mexican chorizo, removed from casing and crumbled
Two 4-ounce cans diced roasted green chiles

LINDA'S MEXICAN MEATLOAF



Linda's Mexican Meatloaf image

I love meatloaf, and love creating new ones to try. This is one that I created with a Mexican twist in mind... It is just wonderful, and is a WINNER for sure!

Provided by Lindas Busy Kitchen

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup instant minced onion or 1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to your liking (optional)
8 ounces sargento's shredded four-cheese Mexican blend cheese, I use reduced fat

Steps:

  • Mix the hamburger, minced onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, and Italian Seasoning together well with your hands.
  • Add in the ketchup, 1/2 the can of tomato sauce, and 1/2 the can of Ro-tel tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Put 1/2 the mixture into an oven-proof baking pan (I used a teflon pan), making a square or a circle, whichever you prefer.
  • Cover the top of the meat mixture with a generous amount of cheese, not coming quite to the edge.
  • Top the cheese with the rest of the hamburger mix, and pat down to make a loaf. Press the sides together a little so the cheese won't drip out when cooking.
  • Mix the tomato sauce and Ro-tel tomatoes together and spread on top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake in a 350 oven, for about 30 minutes before taking it out, to drain off the juices in the pan. (I set the juices aside to put in my Mexican Rice, as part of the water to make the rice).
  • Put back in oven for 30 more minutes then take out, and cover to top of the meatloaf with the rest of the cheese.
  • Put back in the oven, and watch carefully for the cheese to melt on top.
  • Remove, cut, and serve.

MEXICAN MEATLOAF

I snagged this little jewel off Better Homes and Gardens recipe site. It sounds delish and I can't wait to make it.

Provided by Stacey Hill

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg, lightly beaten
1 med. onion, finely chopped
1/4 c bottled salsa
2 Tbsp chili powder
3 minced garlic gloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 pound ground beef
1 8 1/2 ounce package corn muffin mix
1 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced or grated
bottled salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl combine egg, onion, 1/4 cup salsa, the chili powder, garlic, and salt; add ground beef and mix well.
  • 3. Shape into a ball and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Flatten meat mixture to a 6-inch circle; set aside.
  • 4. Prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread corn muffin batter over meat mixture in pie plate. Bake about 50 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat loaf registers 160F. Remove from oven.
  • 5. Halve cheese slices and arrange on top of the corn muffin mixture. Cover loosely and let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with additional salsa. Makes 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful blend of ground beef and pork. This will give the meatloaf a rich and complex taste. If you can't find a blend that you like, you can make your own by combining ground chuck, ground pork, and ground chorizo or breakfast sausage.
  • Add plenty of spices and seasonings to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to give it a bold and flavorful taste. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt and pepper.
  • Use a combination of bread crumbs and oats in the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the mixture together and give it a tender texture. You can use either fresh or dried bread crumbs, but if you're using fresh bread crumbs, be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before adding them to the mixture.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Be sure to press the meatloaf firmly into the dish so that it doesn't fall apart during baking.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the loaf.

Conclusion:

Mexican meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is flavorful, moist, and tender, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
