Southwest Meatloaf Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatloaf

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, diced hatch green chiles, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined.

2. 2

   Shape and Glaze

   Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Brush the top with the mango-chipotle sauce. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

3. 3

   Make the Mashed Potatoes

   While the meatloaf is baking, boil the Yukon gold potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

4. 4

   Prepare Seasonal Vegetables

   In a separate pot, steam or sauté the seasonal vegetables until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices alongside the mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, topped with additional mango-chipotle glaze if desired, and sprinkle with shoestring onions.
