Mexican Mini Meatloaf Recipe

A spicy Mexican style meatloaf for one, filled with chiles!

Since I had 1/2 can of green chiles left, I mixed those with some sour cream and used that to serve with the meatloaf. Delicious!

Next time, I will add a draining step to the finished loaf. The beef I used ended up rather greasy.

canola or vegetable oil
1/4 onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 small can chopped green chiles
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/2 cup salsa, divided (I used my homemade habanero salsa)
1/4 cup corn tortillas chips, crushed
1 egg, beaten
1/4 t each: chili powder, ground cumin, Mexican oregano
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350°.

Saute onion in scant oil in a frying pan over medium heat til onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook a few more seconds. Remove from heat and cool completely.

In a large bowl, mix beef with onion and garlic and remaining ingredients, using 1/4 cup each of salsa and cheese. Place in mini loaf pan; drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup salsa. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or til beef is thoroughly cooked.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake another 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

I served the meatloaf with green chile sour cream and additional habanero salsa.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d905/d288/d746/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
