This is my creation for a slightly spicy Southwestern Meatloaf, which was approved by my husband.
I found that the taco seasoning gave this meatloaf lots of flavor.
Southwestern Meatloaf
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
1 lb. ground beef (l used 87% lean)
1/3 cup water
1 large egg, beaten
5 tablespoons (mild) taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon plain bread crumbs (or use ground flaxseed)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
ketchup, use desired amount to top meatloaf
Lightly grease the inside (bottom only) of one 8x8-inch Teflon coated baking pan. Set pan aside.
Preheat oven to 375º F.
In a bowl mix together thoroughly, the ground beef, water, egg, taco seasoning, bread crumbs or flaxseed, and the cayenne pepper.
Add the meat mixture to the baking pan, and shape into a loaf (7-inches in length -by- 3-1/4 inches in width).
Top the meatloaf with ketchup, and bake in the oven for 1 hour.
After removing the pan from the oven, let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.
Yields: 4 servings
Note: When it comes to adding either the bread crumbs or flaxseed, be sure to just add the 1 tablespoon. Surprisingly, that's all the recipe needs to hold this meatloaf together.
Here's a photo of the meatloaf topped with ketchup, before it's been baked in the oven.
Here's another photo of the meatloaf, and after it's been baked in the oven.
I thought I'd post another photo of the meatloaf, which I served with mashed potatoes and peas.
