When I made this meatloaf for the first time, my husband had informed me, that it was the best meatloaf he ever made. I have to admit this is a pretty good meatloaf. Also, be sure to us Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, with (25% Less Sodium).

How To Make southwestern meatloaf

  • Step 1
    Lightly grease the inside (bottom only) of one 8x8-inch Teflon coated baking pan. Set pan aside.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 375º F.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl mix together thoroughly, the ground beef, water, egg, taco seasoning, bread crumbs or Flaxseed, and the cayenne pepper.
  • Step 4
    Put the meat mixture in the 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2-inch loaf pan.
  • Step 5
    Top meatloaf with ketchup, and bake in oven for 1 hour.
  • Step 6
    After removing the pan from oven, let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.

    Note: When it comes to adding either the bread crumbs or flaxseed, be sure to just add the 1 tablespoon. Surprisingly, that's all the recipe needs to hold this meatloaf together.
