| 1 lb. | Ground beef |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/2 cup | Cheddar cheese cracker crumbs (like Goldfish) |
| 1 pkg. | Taco seasoning |
| 3-4 slices | American Cheese |
| | Salsa |
Combine hamburger, egg, cracker crumbs, and taco seasoning and mix well. Place half of the meat mixture into loaf pan. Place 3 slices of cheese then top off with remaining meat mixture. Cover top with generous amount of salsa and bake in 375-degree oven for about 35 min. Remove from oven and top with cheese if desired then return to oven for apx. 10 more min. or until done.
I find that creating a 'well' for the cheese in the first layer of meat then sealing the sides well after placing the remaining meat on top helps to keep the cheese from escaping during the cooking process.
