SOUTHWEST MEATLOAF



Southwest Meatloaf image

This is a unique meatloaf recipe. Very moist. My friend gave me this recipe and I know she got it out of a magazine but neither one of us know which one! It called for more cilantro and onions and I did cut these back. This is not a pretty meatloaf....just a great tasting one!

Tips:

  • Use ground beef with a higher fat content for a more flavorful and moist meatloaf. Ground beef with a fat content of 80/20 is ideal.
  • Add bread crumbs or oats to the meatloaf mixture to help absorb moisture and bind the ingredients together.
  • Use a combination of spices to flavor the meatloaf. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Southwest-style meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
