Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 14-ounce can, drained Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk. Mix gently until well combined.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped cilantro for an additional layer of flavor.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and hot sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
