Red Chili Enchilada Meat Loaf
I recently picked up a copy of Better Homes and Gardens Ultimate Mexican, and must say that I am ready to try just about every recipe in here. The first up on a busy night was the Red Chili Enchilada meat Loaf (pg. 125) and this was a definite kid pleaser. Chris had seconds, went looking for thirds, and was disappointed to find it all gone. If you are looking for an easy dish the kids will love, be sure to give this one a try, just don't try to feed too many with it, because they'll be asking for more.
Red Chili Enchilada Meat Loaf
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup salsa
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tbs.)2 tbs. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)
1 pkg. corn muffin mix
2 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
additional salsa to serve
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the first seven ingredients. Shape into a ball and place in a 9 inch pie pan lightly covered in cooking spray; flatten into a 6 inch circle.* Prepare the muffin mix according to package directions and spread over the meat in the plate. Bake for 50 minutes or until a temperature of 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese; cover loosely and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional salsa and any other Mexican inspired sides you desire.
*This was how directed in the recipe. by time the meatloaf reached 160 degrees, the cornbread was browner than I would have liked. In the future I will spread the meat out flatter, leaving less of a gap between it and the edge of the plate.
