Mexican Meatloaf

April 3, 2013 by Katie Leave a Comment

I’ve been making a lot of different meatloaf recipes lately.  It’s fun to experiment with different types of meat and different flavor profiles.  For this recipe, I used beef and Mexican flavors.  My (p)inspiration came from here.  The creamy guacamole on top along with the hidden layer of cheesy goodness in the middle really made this a meatloaf to remember.  I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!

Start by preheating your oven to 350°…

  • Add a package of ground beef to a large bowl.

image

  • Add 1 egg.

image

  • Sprinkle in 1 packet of taco seasoning.

image

  • Add 1 cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs.

image

  • Pour in 1 cup of medium salsa (or mild or hot…whatever you prefer).

image

  • Mix well to combine.

image

  • Coat a meatloaf pan with the cooking spray.
  • Add half of the beef mixture to the pan.

image

  • Cover with half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

image

  • Press the remaining beef over the cheese.

image

  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, make (or open a package of) some guacamole.

image

  • Chop up a couple of plum tomatoes.

image

  • Remove from the oven and drain any excess liquid.

image

  • Top with another 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.

image

  • Place back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 more minutes.

image

  • Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

To serve, top with the guacamole and the tomatoes.  Enjoy!
