Easy and flavorful spin on traditional meatloaf that the entire family will love!!
RECIPE:
2 pounds lean ground beef- 93% or 96%
2 large eggs
1 cup plain bread crumbs (optional)
1 ½ cups salsa
1 packet taco seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Topping
¾ cup taco sauce
1 cup light shredded cheese
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine the ground beef, eggs, plain bread crumbs, salsa, taco seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix ingredients together until just combined, making sure not to over mix {I love to use my hands}.
Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish. You can use a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan, or shape the meat into a loaf shape on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
In the last 10-15 minutes add the taco sauce and shredded cheese to the top of the meatloaf. Return to the oven and continue to cook on low for at least 10 minutes or until topping is heated/melted. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Store leftover meatloaf in the refrigerator for up to a 3 days.
