Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef 93% lean 7% fat
  • 1 small onion finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tsp)
  • 1 cup canned corn drained (or fresh corn)
  • 1 cup crushed nacho cheese Doritos
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese blend shredded and divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray or line it with aluminum foil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, canned corn, crushed Doritos, drained Rotel, about ½ a cup shredded cheddar cheese, room temperature eggs, and taco seasoning. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the ground beef mixture into the lined loaf pan, pressing it down to form a loaf shape.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the meatloaf mixture, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the center of the loaf reaches 160°F (71°C). I like to use an instant-read thermometer to do this.
  • Remove the cheesy taco meatloaf from the oven and top it with enchilada sauce and the remaining cheese. Return it back into the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheesemelts. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve your moist meatloaf warm, garnished with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, or any desired toppings. Enjoy your flavorful Mexican taco meatloaf!
