CHEESY MEAT LOAF PIE
This is a tasty cross between meat loaf and pizza. Often, I divide it into two pans, bake one for me and freeze the other. That way, I'm ready for drop in company or potluck suppers. Tomato paste or spaghetti sauce can be substituted for ketchup in my meat pie. Cheese lovers might want to add mozzarella to the topping as well.-Judy Foye, Freeport, Maine

SOUTHWEST MEATLOAF
This is a unique meatloaf recipe. Very moist. My friend gave me this recipe and I know she got it out of a magazine but neither one of us know which one! It called for more cilantro and onions and I did cut these back. This is not a pretty meatloaf....just a great tasting one!

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Brown the beef and sausage: Browning the beef and sausage before adding them to the meatloaf mixture helps to develop flavor and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe give the meatloaf a delicious Southwestern flavor. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper, to create your favorite flavor profile.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The meatloaf mixture should fill the loaf pan about 2/3 full. If the loaf pan is too large, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
- Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature: The meatloaf should be cooked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
This Southwestern meatloaf pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The meatloaf is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of beef, sausage, and spices. The cornbread topping adds a sweet and savory twist. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
