Growing up in New Mexico, we had access to the Hatch green chile (the best!). I add green chile to a lot of my recipes and it rather sets this meatloaf off. It's very good cold, made into sandwiches the second day.

Tips for a flavorful and successful New Mexico Green Chile Meatloaf:

- Select high-quality ground beef. Opt for a leaner cut, such as 85% lean ground beef, to balance out the richness of the other ingredients. Freshly ground beef from a local butcher is ideal for the best flavor and texture. - Use a combination of spices to enhance the flavor. A blend of chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder adds warmth and depth to the meatloaf. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your desired level of heat. - Incorporate green chiles for a distinct flavor and texture. Roasted green chiles provide a smoky, slightly spicy flavor, while diced green chiles add a pop of color and freshness. For a more intense flavor, use a combination of both. - Add moisture and richness with eggs and breadcrumbs. Eggs help bind the meatloaf together and add moisture, while breadcrumbs absorb excess moisture and create a tender texture. Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results. - Top the meatloaf with a flavorful sauce. A combination of green chile enchilada sauce and tomato sauce creates a delicious and colorful glaze that complements the meatloaf perfectly. You can adjust the ratio of sauces to suit your taste preferences.
