SLOW COOKED MEXICAN MEATLOAF
Steps:
- Place ground beef, crumbled corn chips, taco sauce, egg, cheese and seasoning in a bowl and mix together until just combined - you don't want to overwork the meat.
- Shape into a loaf and place in the slow cooker. (If you want to be able to slice your meatloaf when it is done, first line your slow cooker with a foil sling, which is a double sheet of foil that extends over the outside edges of your cooker. Place the loaf in the center of the sling, making sure it doesn't extend over the sides.)
- Place the cover on the slow cooker and cook for 8 hours on the low setting. Let the meatloaf rest for ten minutes.
- If you have used the sling, gently grasp both ends and carefully lift out the meatloaf, transfer to a cutting surface and slice it. If not, just scoop out spoonfuls of the meatloaf directly from the cooker, making sure to get some of the crunchy bits from the surface as well as the tender inside.
- Drizzle some warm taco sauce on top and garnish with sour cream and scallions.

CROCK POT MEXICAN MEATLOAF
Being without a kitchen while we remodel I'm having to get creative about finding/inventing new tastes from my crock pot. This is the most successful invention so far. The kids loved it hot and then ate the leftovers for lunches so fast I hardly got any. LOL I used a 6qt, oval crock pot and 4lbs of meat to feed my large family. If you want to halve the recipe you're on your own about how to cook it because I'm sure it would burn or dry out in a 6qt oval.

Steps:
- Mix everything except the salsa and the cheese together, blending very well.
- Put into a 6qt, oval crock pot. Form an oval donut shape that does not touch the outer walls and has a hollow in the middle the size of a small woman's fist all the way to the bottom.
- Pour the salsa over the meat. Cook on high for 3 hours then turn down to low to finish for another 4-5 hours. Open the pot, top the meat with the shredded cheese, cover, and cook on low another half hour.
- Serve either nacho style over corn chips or wrapped in flour tortillas. I recommend a salad and the usual taco fixings on the side.

SLOW COOKER MEXICAN MEAT
I had a chuck roast and didn't want to make the usual stew, so after looking at a lot of recipes, I decided to try this for a Mexican meal. I have used this meat for a number of dishes (most favorite is tacos, also burritos and topped nachos with it) I think it is far superior to using ground beef.

Steps:
- Put everything in a crock pot.
- (Add enough beef broth to come up to almost 1/2 of the roast). Cook on low for 8-10 hours Take out roast, shred beef and add back to liquid.
- (Before I take out the roast, I usually taste it and add more seasoning if needed. You can add more hot sauce, cayenne pepper if you like it hotter or more cumin).
- Cook for another 30 minutes.
- My husband loves this in tacos, but I like to add refried beans and make burritos out of it.
Tips:
- Using a food processor or blender can make the process of combining ingredients much easier and faster.
- Be sure to press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the loaf pan to prevent it from falling apart during cooking.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, grease it with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This recipe is a delicious and easy way to make a flavorful Mexican-inspired meatloaf. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. The combination of ground beef, pork, and chorizo gives the meatloaf a rich and savory flavor, while the chili powder, cumin, and oregano add a touch of spice.
