MEXICALI MEATLOAF

This recipe originally came from the 1981 Southern Living Cookbook. My hubby used to make it quite often back then and our family loved it! Since then, we've moved a couple of times, my children grew up and that cookbook with this wonderful recipe was long gone. I recently found it again and made it for our supper. It's just as...

GRANDMOMMY'S MEXICALI MEATLOAF



Grandmommy's Mexicali Meatloaf image

After my boyfriends grandmother passed, I was given her recipe book to take down some that looked good to me. This one is a winner. ** Update 3/7- I just made this for the first time myself and realized that in the recipe it calls for milk but it is not listed in the ingredients. I guess I did not record this when copying the recipe so I used about 2 cups to get it creamy like it should be.. however.. I ended up with too much sauce. I used it over chicken later in the week.

MEXICALI MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mexicali Meatloaf Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 slices day-old bread
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. salsa
1/2 c. tortilla chips, crushed
1/2 c. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. pepper
1/2 t. Italian seasoning
1/4 t. seasoned salt
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork

Steps:

  • Arrange bread slices in an ungreased 9"x5" loaf pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients except beef and pork; blend well. Add beef and pork; mix well. Form into a loaf and place in pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Invert meatloaf onto a serving platter; discard bread. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Makes 8 servings.

Preparation/Meatloaf

  • Baking: Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour (internal temp 160°F, 70°C) if using a loaf pan, or for about 1 hour and a half (internal temp 165°F, 75°C) if using a casserole dish.
  • Meat: Use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin for the best meatloaf texture and taste. The chuck provides richness and fat, while the sirloin adds a bit of a firmer, less greasy texture.
  • Mixing: Be gentle when mising all of the meatloaf ingredients together. If you overwork the meat, it can become tough after it's baked.
  • Veggies: Adding diced onions, peppers, and carrots to the meatloaf adds not only texture but also great additional flavors. If you add in shredded or pureed/mashed zucchini or spinach you can add some nice color and nutrients as well.
  • Pan Choices: Meatloaf can be baked either in a loaf pan (for traditional meatloaf presentation) or in a casserole type dish.
  • Sauce: The ketchup/chili powder/sugar/ Worcestershire/soy/liquid smoke/black coffee mixture adds an amazing amount of great, simple flavors with contrasting textures. The coffee, while an odd mix, adds bitterness, depth, and richness to the overall meatloaf.
  • Preparation/Baked Potatoes

  • Cook Time: Russet Potatoes can take a while to bake (anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours). It's advisable to soak them first. This will save you about half the cook time.
  • Microwave: If you really want to save time, bake your russets in the microwave. Just make sure to pierce them and cover them in a moist paper towel before microwaving.
  • Topping: Top your baked russet with butter, herbs, cheese, veggies, and anything else that looks or sounds delicious.
  • Conclusion

    When it comes right down to it, this is all down-home, basic, comfort food at its finest. You may already have everything you need to prepare this meal from your favorite grocery store. Add a side of green and/or yellow veggies and you have the perfect, wholesome meal that's sure to please everyone no matter their age.
