Southwestern Style Meatloaf image

The original recipe came from the Prevention.com recipe site, Low Cost, Low Fat Freezer Cookbook. I made my own breadcrumbs in the blender, used homemade salsa, and precooked the chopped onions and corn for 1-2 minutes in the microwave before adding to the meatloaf mix. The seasoning blend is my own. If baked in mini bread pans,...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb extra-lean ground beef round
1/2 lb ground turkey
3/4 c salsa
3/4 c soft bread crumbs
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c whole kernel corn
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 c tomato sauce
1 Tbsp ketchup
1 tsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan, or 3 or 4 mini loaf pans. You may pre-cook the chopped onions and corn kernels in the microwave for 1-2 minutes if you like; this is supposed to help the meatloaf retain its "slice-ability." I like the flavor of the precooked vegetables.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, turkey, salsa, bread crumbs, onions, corn, eggs, garlic, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and salt. Mix well. Form into a loaf and place in the prepared loaf pan. May also be divided evenly into 3 or 4 mini loaf pans.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. Spread over the top of the meat loaf. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer reads at least 160°F. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more, or until the top browns slightly. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
  • 4. If using mini loaf pans, they only take a total of 30 minutes.
  • 5. Recipe Notes To freeze, remove the cooled cooked loaf from the pan. Wrap with a double layer of freezer-quality foil. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Bake the foil-wrapped loaf at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until hot.
