Best Recipe for Mexican Meatloaf with Green Chile Peppers

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Combine ground beef, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, and 1/2 of the Colby-Jack cheese together in a large bowl; add tortilla chips, onions, eggs, green chile peppers, chili powder, and salt and mix well. Pack meat mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain grease from pan.
  4. Pour remaining tomato sauce over meatloaf and sprinkle remaining cheese over tomato sauce. Cook in the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
