Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- 1 9x5 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 4 sandwich bread slices
- ¾ cup salsa
- 1 egg
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded Monterey cheese
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- salt to taste
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
Instructions

- Take the remaining bread slices and remove the outer crust, simply tear with your hands into smaller pieces and place in a bowl.
- Add salsa and mix everything with a spoon. Let the bread soak the salsa for a few minutes.
- Add onion, garlic, egg, cheese, salt and pepper and mix well to form a paste.
- Mix in ground beef and place mixture into your loaf pan.
- Bake in the oven for 50 minutes 1 hour or until fully cooked.
- Let it cool for 15-20 minutes before removing and slicing so it will not fall apart.
Notes
- Use any salsa you like either store bought or homemade salsa.
- Mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese or any shredded cheese can be used.
- You can use ground turkey or a mixture of ground turkey and ground beef.
- Your salsa will already have onion so you can skip the extra onion, but it is just my thing for more flavor.
- For a gluten free meatloaf use crushed tortillas, about ½ a cup.
- Top your meatloaf with some more shredded cheese and return to oven for a few minutes or until cheese melts.
- You can also top your meatloaf with your favorite meatloaf glaze.
- Storage:
- Store leftover salsa meatloaf in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
