Southwest Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
- 3/4 C. crushed baked corn tortilla chips (about 2 1/2 oz.)
- 1 large egg
- 1 15 1/4 oz. can whole-kernel corn, drained
- 1 11 oz. jar salsa (about 1 1/4 C.)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, mix ground beef with tortilla chips, egg, corn, 1 C. salsa, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper just until well-combined; do not over-mix or meat loaf will be tough. Transfer meat mixture to small roasting pan (14x10 inches); shape into 10x5-inch loaf. Spread remaining 1/4 C. salsa on top of loaf. Bake meat loaf 1 hour or until temperature on meat thermometer inserted in center of meat loaf reaches 160 degrees. Let meat loaf stand 10 minutes for easier slicing.
