This is one of my husband’s favorite recipes I have created. I typically use an all beef mixture. You can use the normal beef/pork/veal mixture or any combination. Just a warning – if you use the all beef mixture it will be heavy and dense! We like this version occasionally but others might not like how heavy and thick it is. This is a personal preference. Please choose your meat accordingly.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb beef (or any meatloaf combo you like)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 bag of shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 can (rinsed) black beans
  • 1 taco season package

  2. We used to make this in the restaurant I worked in! It’s so yummy if you mix Mexican chorizo in with the meat!! Mmmmm!! We’d serve with eggs for a hangover cure 😉

  3. Yum, This is the kind of recipe I like to find…I already have all the ingredients, so no shopping, no filing it away for later… just making it for dinner tonight.

  4. A great meatloaf recipe. I have to get a couple ingredients and plan to try it this week.

  5. This seems like it would be so filling and I am so jealous because I’ve never created a recipe by myself, too scared of how it will turn out if I wing it.

  6. This is a great new meatloaf recipe to try. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be trying this tomorrow.
