I personally love meatloaf in any form. I found & tweaked this recipe to my liking. It was a hit with my boyfriend so I thought I would post it. I think it still can be tweaked more to individual's tastes...enjoy!

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 Loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 sweet onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced (stem removed)
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, diced
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
2 eggs, whisked
0.5 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup corn kernel, from 1 ear of corn, cooked
6 ounces ground chorizo sausage
1 lb ground chicken
vegetable oil
salt & pepper (to taste)
salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350° degrees F.
  • NOTE: I like to grill the corn for a bit of a charred taste, but you can cook it however you desire. Or you can use corn from the can.
  • Heat medium pot, add about 1 tablespoons oil. Once oil is heated add onions, jalapeno, & green pepper. Cook until semi-soft, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook about another minute. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In same pan cook chorizo as directed on package, usually about 10-12 minutes, add tomato paste. Remove from heat and drain if needed. Let cool so it can be added with ground chicken without cooking it in bowl.
  • In large bowl combine bread crumbs & spices, mix well. Add ground chicken & eggs, mix well. Add cooled vegies, including corn and beans. Add chorizo and mix well. Form into meatloaf.
  • Place in lightly greased loaf pan and bake covered with foil for 1 hour.
  • You can check internal temperature for 160° since you are using chicken, let rest for 5-10 minutes for temperature to reach 165° and then serve.
  • NOTE: You can serve this with salsa for an extra kick in flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken and chorizo combination is genius, and the addition of the cornbread crumbs gives it a nice texture. I will definitely be making this again.
