Taco Meatloaf Recipe

taco_meatloaf_1
If you are looking to try something different from your classic meatloaf recipe, this taco meatloaf makes a delicious dinner for any night of the week. This meatloaf combines ground beef, corn chips, salsa, Mexican cheese, and various seasoning. The meatloaf is topped in the oven with a mixture of refried beans and salsa. For this recipe, it would be a good idea to use lean ground beef so you do not have too much excess fat in the baking dish. The meat mixture should be formed into the bottom of the loaf pan. It may not fit all the way up to the top, depending on the size of the loaf pan you are using. You can make this meatloaf more or less spicy by the heat of the salsa that you use in it. I would highly recommend serving this meatloaf with salsa and sour cream. You can also top it with lettuce, tomato, and green onion if you would prefer. Enjoy. Adapted from Coleen’s Recipes.

I tripled the recipe for a Halowwen potluck; it was really good. It complimented the other Mexican dishes!

Wayne - You are right, I would say this makes about 4 servings. Sorry for the mistake. I have edited the serving amount.

My type of meal. BUT 2 servings? I guess that is why we are a nation of overweight people. I would think 3-4, but will find out when we bake it.
