Taco Meatloaf

Contributed By: md1019

A new twist to the classic favorite, this easy meatloaf is tasty and fun!

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.

Cook's Notes

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.

Yummy! My kids loved this too! I served with a side of white rice and skipped the salsa on top for my picky eaters. Quick and easy recipe!

Kids enjoyed it. Which is always welcome when one of them happens to be a very picky eater. I personally didn't really care for the taste of the salsa on top. But was glad to see the kids go back for seconds. Very easy to make and quick and simple.
