Mexican Meatloaf

Serves: 6

I had a lifelong aversion to meatloaf up until the past couple years. My mom used to make it when I was younger and I hated it. Actually, I hated most foods being the picky kid I was, but meatloaf I loathed. Even the name sounded gross to me.

ingredients:

• 2 lb extra lean ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can green chilies (127ml)
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 1/2 cup crushed tortillas
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2/3 cup salsa + 1/2 cup salsa

instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, add ground beef, tortillas, cheese, 2/3 cup salsa, eggs, taco seasoning and green chilies. With your clean hands, combine the mixture until everything is mixed together well.
3. Add meat to a loaf pan. Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 1 to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until meat is cooked. Use a meat thermometer to check.
4. Remove from oven and let cook for a few minutes before flipping over onto a serving platter. Spread 1/2 cup salsa and green onions on top. Serve hot.
