I love meatloaf, and was looking for a new way to make it... I experimented until I came up with this one, and boy, was I glad I did... It was WONDERFUL... Thought I would share it with all of you, it was so good! Ingredients:
3 jalapeno peppers, pureed in the blender, then drained, reserving 2 tablespoons of juice, for sauce (if you don't like it hot, use only 2 jalapenos, and reserve 1 tablespoons for sauce, or use 1 4 oz.) |
1/2 cup oats, uncooked |
4 tablespoons egg substitute or 1 egg, whipped |
4 tablespoons ketchup |
1 medium onion, finely chopped, reserving 2 t. for sauce |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 lb ground beef |
6 tablespoons kraft four-cheese mexican blend cheese, shredded |
2/3 cup ketchup |
2 dashes garlic powder |
3/4 cup kraft four-cheese mexican blend cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300.
2. Combine the first 8 ingredients together. Mix well.
3. Add ground beef, and mix well.
4. In a 9x13 baking pan, shape meat into a loaf about 1 high x 8 long x 6 wide.
5. Top with the 6 T. Mexican cheese down the middle of the loaf.
6. Bring up both sides of the meatloaf to cover the cheese, and then press down to cover cheese. Carefully reshape into a loaf again.
7. Put in the oven, and bake for 40-45 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, combine ketchup, reserved 2 tablespoons jalepanos, reserved onions, and garlic powder in a small plastic dish.
9. Put in microwave on high heat for 2 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
10. Spoon sauce over cooked loaves, and sprinkle with the 3/4 cup cheese.
11. Put pan back into the oven, and cook about 15 more minutes, or until cheese is melted down the sides of the meatloaf.
12. When done, take out of oven, slice into 2 slices, and serve.
