Pretty good recipe. You can customize the spice level with the salsa. A good mexican-american mix of cuisines. Would try again!
Great recipe. It’s almost like my Taco Meatloaf minus the Taco seasoning. I did add onion powder then 1/2 way through cooking I spread more salsa on top. When it finished cooking I sprinkled more shredded cheddar on top and left it in the oven until the cheese melted.
I’ve been making this recipe for many years, and either pair it up with cheddar mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese. Delicious!
Simple recipe Easy to make, turned out delicious! Added ketchup and baked 10 minutes more, juicy and tasty
I made it with half spicy hot sausage and half 80/20 ground chuck and it turned out great. Thanks for the instructions and idea
This has become a weekly favorite! I make it with ground turkey, and I add an unspecified amount of sirachi to add some kick. I cook it at 365F for 45 minutes and it turns out great. It’s juicy and full of flavor, and CRAZY easy.
Excellant!!! I really enjoyed this. Made with lean ground chuck, 1.5lb so increased other ingredients accordingly. Used 2 eggs and ended up with a cup a salsa when pouring and just went with it. Substituted cheese with what was in the house, an ounce of shredded pepper jack and diced a couple ounces creamy mozzarella sticks. Baked in oven at 350 shaped into loaf on broiler tray/pan to catch drippings for just over an hour. Then removed, covered with foil and let rest a few minutes. Daughter who doesnt typically care for meat loaf liked it and said she’d have it again.
Excellent change up for meatloaf! We are in quarantine because of flu going around, and I have limited supplies. But the most exciting part of the day for the family are meals, lol. They gobbled it up. I expected to have leftovers, but that didn’t happen. Everyone kept coming in to cut off a little bit until it was gone. I used 2#s of ground beef..lol. Now back to the freezer for inspiration for tomorrow.
I made no changes and definitely will make it again
I have made this recipe several times now and it is a hit! I’ve never found a good recipe for meatloaf without ketchup and was so happy to find this one. I’ve made it with hamburger, turkey and pork depending on what’s in the fridge and it always turns out GREAT!!!
Made it just like the recipe except I didn’t have any Italian bread crumbs so I used plain and added Italian seasoning, and I think I overdid it. But otherwise it was good, and only took 1 lb. of meat which is a big plus for a pair of empty-nesters. Will be making it again.
Delicious!! A family favorite. I often use ground turkey; and my adjustments are: use 3/4 of a jar of picante sauce/salsa, add more cheese (maybe double!), and often add chopped onions, as well as add extra clove of garlic! The extra sauce really adds to the moistness!
Great recipe!! I wanted individual portions, so I made it in a (greased) muffin tin. I also needed it to be gluten free, so I crushed up tortilla chips for the bread crumbs & it tasted great!!
This was delicious. I didn’t have enough Italian style bread crumbs so I used crushed tortilla chips. Just threw them in a plastic bag and used my rolling pin for no mess. The corn flavor was great with the salsa and shredded mexican style cheese I used . I actually made a 4 lb meatloaf, using half ground turkey and half 90% ground beef and there was almost no grease. Cooked it in a 9×13 pan. Can’t wait to make leftover meatloaf sandwiches with some avocado on top!
Very good meatloaf! I cooked it at 375° for 45 minutes. Then I spread picante over the top and baked it for 15 more minutes. It came out great!
Delish and easy to make! I didn’t change a thing. My husband loves it!
cooked on 375 doubled the recipe it was great
Delicious
I love this meatloaf, l used Ritz cracker and l skipped the cheese. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9 by 13 pan for 1 hrs 10 minutes. This meatloaf freezes well. It is so moist and tender. CFC
I made this and it was delicious! One of the best meatloaf recipes ever. I also cooked it at 375 and added an extra clove of garlic. Yum!
This did not disappoint! My husband, a ketchup lover said he didn’t need it. Mixed everything the night before so I only had to shape it and bake. Followed ingredients exactly. I shaped it free standing like half of a basketball and baked in the NuWave Oven. It was perfect and the flavors and texture were amazing. Definitely one of the best! Thank you Tinkerbell15!
