2 pounds ground chuck
2 eggs
2/3 cup marinara
3/4 cup finely diced parsley leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups breadcrumbs
Two 16-ounce cans tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 chipotle pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
24 slices wheat bread
12 slices pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the meatloaf: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, marinara, parsley, salt, pepper and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly and put on a baking dish.

Add the pureed tomatoes to the onions, then add all the remaining ingredients except the lime juice. Simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, until thick, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down a little before adding it to a blender. Add the lime juice and puree again.

CHIPOTLE ( TURKEY ) MEATLOAF



Chipotle ( Turkey ) Meatloaf image

From Cooking Light December 2005. It calls for 2 pounds of ground turkey. I made this for my husband using 1/2 turkey and 1/2 lean beef since he doesn't like turkey loaves - it gave it the flavor of beef while still lightening it up. He loved it.
