Mexican Meatloaf
(Hotness is somewhere between mild & medium)
Ingredients
1. 1 to 1 ½ lbs ground meat (beef, venison, elk, etc)
2. 1 lb tube of Jimmy Dean HOT sausage
3. 2 eggs
4. 1 medium finely diced onion
5. 1 finely diced green pepper
6. ¾ cup oatmeal
7. 2 packages of Taco Seasoning mix
8. 3-4 spoons of Salsa OR BBQ Sauce **
Directions
Preheat oven to 350*F OR smoker/pellet grill to 225*F.
Combine items 1 thru 7 above.
For oven, place mixture in a foil lined loaf pan 9” X 13” size works well.
Cook at 350*F for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until internal temperature (IT) is 160*F.
For smoker/pellet grill, form into 3 loaves and place on a foil covered baking/cookie sheet.
Smoke at 225*F for 2 hours or until IT is 160*F.
When the IT reaches 160*F, cover the outside of each loaf with either the Salsa OR the BBQ Sauce and continue to cook for an additional 10 (BBQ Sauce) or 15 (Salsa) minutes.
** We like Newman’s Own Salsa and Blues Hog Smokey Mountain BBQ Sauce. You can’t go wrong with either choice.
