this one is so good and easy to make
CHILI MEATLOAF AND POTATO CASSEROLE
Two favorites – the flavors of the Southwest and meatloaf – come together in a meal-in-one casserole.
Total Preparation and Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Meatloaf
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
Potato Topping
3 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 can (11 ounces) corn with red and green peppers, drained
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 to 1 cup shredded taco-seasoned cheese
• Heat oven to 375°F. Combine meatloaf ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
• Gently press beef mixture into bottom of 9-inch square baking pan. Bake in 375°F oven to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color. Carefully pour off drippings.
• Meanwhile combine topping ingredients, except cheese, in medium bowl. Spread topping over meatloaf to edges of pan; sprinkle with cheese. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
• Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Cut into 6 even pieces.
Makes 6 Servings
Cooking Note: Due to the natural nitrate content of certain ingredients often used in meatloaf, such as onions, celery and bell peppers, meatloaf may remain pink even when a 160°F internal temperature has been reached. Always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer to be certain it reaches 160°F.
