Southwestern Meatloaf image

When I made this meatloaf for the first time, my husband had informed me, that it was the best meatloaf I ever made. I have to admit this is a pretty good meatloaf. Also, be sure to us Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, with (25% Less Sodium).

1 lb ground beef (l used 87% lean)

  • 3. In a bowl mix together thoroughly, the ground beef, water, egg, taco seasoning, bread crumbs or flaxseed, and the cayenne pepper.
  • 4. Add the meat mixture to the baking pan, and shape into a loaf (7-inches in length -by- 3-1/4 inches in width).
