Dinner....I decided that I wanted to try a Mexican meatloaf. I have several recipes that I have concocted in the past but they just feel like they are sooo lacking something lately, so I am taking another direction. Read more . I think this recipe will open up a whole new world of ideas now. The meatloaf turned out awesome, the flavor was right on *and* no grease from the hamburger. I was amazed! =D Ingredients:
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped |
3 shallots, minced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 t. vegetable oil |
1 pound ground beef (80 to 85% lean) i like a little fat to the hamburger for flavor |
4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, finely shopped |
3/4 c. shredded mexican cheese blend, divided |
1/2 c. purchased or fresh salsa |
1 egg, beaten |
1 t. ground cumin |
1 t. ground oregano |
1 t. salt |
extra salsa |
sourcream |
Directions:
1. **Directions:
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bell pepper, shallots and garlic in oil in medium skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tender. Cool.
3. Gently combine bell pepper mixture and all remaining ingredients except 1/4 c. of the cheese in a large bowl. Place in 8 x 4 inch loaf pan; bake 55 to 60 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. cheese during the last 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
4. Add salsa and a medium dollop of sour cream to the top of the meatloaf after setting on plate.
