This Taco Meatloaf recipe puts a Mexican twist on a classic dish, combining juicy beef with salsa and taco flavors for a delicious and flavorful meatloaf.

Ingredients

    Main Meatloaf Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (¼ cup)
  • 1 cup white onion, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1½ cups grated cheddar jack cheese (divided into 1 cup and ½ cup)
  • 1 cup salsa (divided in half)

    • Garnish:

  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, milk, eggs, taco seasoning, onion, green chiles, crushed tortilla chips, garlic, 1 cup of grated cheese, and ½ cup salsa. Mix well.
  3. Shape and bake: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan. Top with remaining salsa. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Add remaining cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes until cheese melts and meatloaf reaches 160°F.

Notes

  • Do not add extra taco seasoning as it may make the meatloaf too salty.
  • You can use a 9.5 x 5.5 loaf pan without changing the cook time.
  • Using gloves to mix the meatloaf with hands helps combine the ingredients without making a mess.
