I found myself staring down the barrel of some ground beef and green chilies the other day and wondered what on EARTH I was going to do with it that I haven’t done before. I can’t believe I even THOUGHT of meatloaf, but I did. Not a fan. Blech. But…I know IT Guy likes it and if it involved green chilies then he would like it even more. The end result got a big “thumbs up” and I even managed to eat a piece. Still not a fan but if you’re a meatloaf lover like IT Guy is, then apparently this is for you.
1 pound ground beef
½ onion – diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
¼ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup water
1 egg
4 tablespoons El Pato Mexican sauce (or regular tomato sauce if you prefer)
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cilantro
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
Shape in a loaf and put in a greased pan.
With your finger, make diagonal grooves across loaf. Pour in extra El Pato.
Here's the goods for a loaf of meat. ;-)
Combine everything in a bowl and mix it well.
Put the mixture into a greased pan.
Make 3 or 4 grooves across with loaf
and fill the grooves with extra El Pato.
Bake it up!!
