My friend Donna makes the best meatloaf ever. The amount of chili powder seems excessive, but it really tastes great. You can use 1 tbsp if you are fearful, but believe me - it tastes better with the amount given if you use Spice Islands brand. If your brand is very strong, cut the amount in half. Here is her recipe. Ingredients:
3 lbs lean ground beef |
16 ounces canned creamed corn |
1 large onion, diced |
1 large tomato, chopped into about 1 inch chunks |
1 green bell pepper, in 1/2 inch dice |
3 -4 slices white bread, crusts removed & torn into small pieces (i use a very soft white bread for this) |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup ketchup, for meat mixture |
4 teaspoons chili powder (i use spice islands) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
3/4 cup ketchup, for topping |
Directions:
1. Mix creamed corn, eggs, chili powder, 1/2 cup ketchup, salt, pepper and bread together. Let sit while mixing meat, onion, tomato & bell pepper in large bowl.
2. Add corn mixture to meat mixture.
3. Form into a large rectangular mound, about 2 to 3 inches high on a baking sheet with sides, to avoid dripping in oven.
4. Top with 3/4 cup ketchup.
5. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
