Mexican Meatloaf
This flavorful Mexican Meatloaf is a taco-lover's dream! With tortilla chips, salsa, corn, black beans, big chunks of cheddar cheese and the perfect amount of seasoning, it's a fun twist on a classic meatloaf!
Ingredients
- 8 oz block cheddar cheese divided
- 1 ½ lb ground beef
- 1 c black beans
- 1 c corn frozen or canned (drained)
- 1 ¼ c crushed tortilla chips
- 2 eggs
- 1 c salsa divided
- 1 pkt taco seasoning
- toppings such as salsa, diced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, etc optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum for easy clean-up.
- First, you'll cut the block of cheese into two sections - one being about ¾ of the block and the other ¼. Cut the larger piece into 1 cm cubes; shred the remaining cheese and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, black beans, corn, crushed tortilla chips, eggs, ¾ c salsa, taco seasoning and the cubed cheddar cheese.
- Dump onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a loaf that is about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. (Doesn't need to be exact!)
- Bake for 55 minutes; remove from the oven and spread the remaining salsa over the top and then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.
- Cut into slices and top with sour cream, salsa, avocado chunks, etc, if desired!
