This meat loaf is a hit with my family. My three sons eat two pieces each, which is incredible, considering that they are very picky toddlers. This Southwest-style meat loaf is topped with a sweet and tangy sauce. —Lacey Kirsch, Thornton, Colorado

Slow-Cooked Taco Meat Loaf Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Cook: 3 hours + standing

Yield: 8 Servings

20 180 200

Ingredients

2 cups crushed tortilla chips
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
1 envelope taco seasoning
2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce

Directions

Cut four 20-in. x 3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 3-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a round loaf. Place meat loaf in the center of the strips. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°.
Combine the ketchup, brown sugar and hot sauce; pour over meat loaf during the last hour of cooking. Let stand for 10 minutes. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter. Yield: 8 servings.

Leftovers make GREAT Meatloaf Tacos. Just heat up the meatloaf, slice it and place in taco shells. Top with jack cheese, chopped tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Favorite Salsa on the side. Fantastic!!

Taste wonderful. I made it a little too sweet. Will cut down on the brown sugar a bit.

I made the a couple nights ago, my kids don't care for meat loaf but they loved this one. I added some diced Jalepenos for alittle more zip!

My husband LOVED this meatloaf, even though I made it with ground turkey instead of ground beef. We'll definitely be having this one again!
