Mexican Meatloaf is a fabulous variation from the traditional meatloaf that is usually made with
ground beef, bread crumbs and tomato sauce. This festive meatloaf recipe gives you the fabulous flavors of Mexico by combining chorizo, green chiles, corn, cilantro, stewed tomatoes and cornmeal. This mildly spicy meatloaf is also accompanied by a delicious Creamy Salsa made with a simple combination of sour cream and salsa verde, giving this dish the perfect complimentary flavor.
Cooking meatloaf couldn't be easier. It's simply a matter of mixing all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl, transferring the mixture to a bread pan, then popping it in the oven. Meatloaf also is great for leftovers. Either heat up individual servings in the microwave, or make yourself a cold meatloaf sandwich the next day!
