Salsa Meatloaf
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground chicken (beef or a mix of beef and pork)
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Desert Pepper Trading Co. Cantina Salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- sliced onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crushed tortilla chips, and egg
- Stir in the salsa, chopped onion, minced garlic, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough
- Transfer the meat mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Shape it into a loaf form, about 2-3 inches high
- spread a layer of additional salsa on top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes
- Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making it easier to slice
- Slice the meatloaf and serve warm, optionally with a side of extra salsa
