SLOW COOKED MEXICAN MEATLOAF

Provided by Kate Morgan Jackson

Categories     Dinner

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ground beef (chuck is the best)
1 cup corn or tortilla chips, crushed into crumbs
1/2 cup taco sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup shredded cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (the kind from the packet)
Sour cream and scallions for garnish

Steps:

  • Place ground beef, crumbled corn chips, taco sauce, egg, cheese and seasoning in a bowl and mix together until just combined - you don't want to overwork the meat.
  • Shape into a loaf and place in the slow cooker. (If you want to be able to slice your meatloaf when it is done, first line your slow cooker with a foil sling, which is a double sheet of foil that extends over the outside edges of your cooker. Place the loaf in the center of the sling, making sure it doesn't extend over the sides.)
  • Place the cover on the slow cooker and cook for 8 hours on the low setting. Let the meatloaf rest for ten minutes.
  • If you have used the sling, gently grasp both ends and carefully lift out the meatloaf, transfer to a cutting surface and slice it. If not, just scoop out spoonfuls of the meatloaf directly from the cooker, making sure to get some of the crunchy bits from the surface as well as the tender inside.
  • Drizzle some warm taco sauce on top and garnish with sour cream and scallions.

CROCK POT MEXICAN MEATLOAF



Crock Pot Mexican Meatloaf image

Being without a kitchen while we remodel I'm having to get creative about finding/inventing new tastes from my crock pot. This is the most successful invention so far. The kids loved it hot and then ate the leftovers for lunches so fast I hardly got any. LOL I used a 6qt, oval crock pot and 4lbs of meat to feed my large family. If you want to halve the recipe you're on your own about how to cook it because I'm sure it would burn or dry out in a 6qt oval.

Categories     Poultry

Time 7h10m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs hamburger
2 lbs ground turkey
2 small onions, chopped
3 eggs
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup milk
2 (1 1/4 ounce) envelopes taco seasoning mix (the size intended to make tacos from one pound of ground meat)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (16 ounce) jar medium salsa (hotter if you prefer it that way)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Mix everything except the salsa and the cheese together, blending very well.
  • Put into a 6qt, oval crock pot. Form an oval donut shape that does not touch the outer walls and has a hollow in the middle the size of a small woman's fist all the way to the bottom.
  • Pour the salsa over the meat. Cook on high for 3 hours then turn down to low to finish for another 4-5 hours. Open the pot, top the meat with the shredded cheese, cover, and cook on low another half hour.
  • Serve either nacho style over corn chips or wrapped in flour tortillas. I recommend a salad and the usual taco fixings on the side.
