When I made this meatloaf for the first time, my husband had informed me, that it was the best meatloaf I ever made. I have to admit this is a pretty good meatloaf. Also, be sure to us Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, with (25% Less Sodium).
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
4 Tablespoons Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix (25% Less Sodium)
1 Tablespoon plain bread crumbs (or use ground Flaxseed)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
ketchup, use desired amount to top meatloaf
1.) Lightly grease the inside (bottom only) of one 8x4-inch Teflon coated baking pan. Set pan aside.
2.) Preheat oven to 375º F.
3.) In a large bowl mix together thoroughly, the ground beef, water, egg, taco seasoning, bread crumbs or Flaxseed, and the cayenne pepper.
4.) Put the meat mixture in the 8x4-inch loaf pan.
5.) Top the meatloaf with ketchup, and bake in the oven for 1 hour.
6.) After removing the pan from the oven, let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.
7.) Yields: 5 servings
8.) 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, and 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.
This is the Taco Seasoning Mix I used in the Meatloaf. Which has 25% Less Sodium. Since the recipe states to only use 4 Tablespoons, you will have close to 2 Tablespoons of the seasoning mix leftover. I would not advise to add the remaining taco mix, "or the meatloaf will taste rather salty".
