I'm adopting this recipe from the JAP site. I'll be fine-tuning it today for dinner tonight (2/22/11). Seasoned with cornmeal, chipotle, and olives, this is a spicy, southwestern rendition of meatloaf.

How To Make mexican meatloaf by susan

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a loaf pan and an 8 x 12-inch baking dish.

    Combine all ingredients well in a large bowl (hands work best for mixing). Do not over-mix or pack down, but do mix well.
  • 3
    Gently pack mixture into the greased loaf pan. Invert the loaf pan into the baking dish, shaking out meatloaf. Remove loaf pan. Pat meatloaf into shape if necessary.
  • 4
    Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or just until cooked through. (Internal temp 160°) Brush with glaze a few times during baking, or wait until the last 15 minutes and top with the glaze, then finish baking. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

    GLAZE: Combine the 1/2 cup pico de gallo well with the hot pepper jelly. A wire whisk works best.
