This is one of my favorite entrees for two. I found this tender meat loaf recipe in a supermarketâs cookbook almost 20 years ago and have enjoyed it ever since. Sometimes I substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef or make extra loaves to freeze for later meals. âLois Kinneberg, Phoenix, Arizona Ingredients:
1 egg |
2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup picante sauce, divided |
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats |
1 teaspoon dried minced onion |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the egg, 2 tablespoons picante sauce, oats, onion, chili powder and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into two 4-in. x 2-in. loaves.
2. Place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°.
3. Place the remaining picante sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Pour over meat loaves. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and microwave on high for 45 seconds or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.
