Enchilada Meat Loaf


I am going to make this with ground turkey!
This new twist on the classic meatloaf dish will have your family asking if it is meatloaf night or Mexican night. A corn muffin mix forms an outer shell for this main dish recipe that combinessalsa and chili powder with ground beef. With a preparation time of only 20 minutes, you'll have time to help with homework while it bakes.

ingredients

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup bottled salsa
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 8.5 oz. pkg. corn muffin mix
  • 2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
  • Bottled salsa (optional)

directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl combine egg, onion, 1/4 cup salsa, the chili powder, garlic, and salt; add ground beef and mix well. Shape into a ball and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Flatten meat mixture to a 6-inch circle; set aside.
  2. Prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread corn muffin batter over meat mixture in pie plate. Bake about 50 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat loaf registers 160F. Remove from oven. Halve cheese slices and arrange on top of the corn muffin mixture. Cover loosely and let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with additional salsa. Makes 6 servings. thanks Better Homes and Gardens
