Mexican Meatloaf with Green Chile Peppers
Share recipe
Description
This meatloaf is a family-favorite. It's a great variation of plain meatloaf.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
- 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
- 1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 2 eggs
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 2. Combine ground beef, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, and 1/2 of the Colby-Jack cheese together in a large bowl; add tortilla chips, onions, eggs, green chile peppers, chili powder, and salt and mix well. Pack meat mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
- 3. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain grease from pan.
- 4. Pour remaining tomato sauce over meatloaf and sprinkle remaining cheese over tomato sauce. Cook in the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
