Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 6 people

Calories: 491kca

Ingredients

Mini Meatloaves

1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound lean ground pork
1 package taco seasoning
1 bag crushed Doritos 12 ounces
2 eggs beaten
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
16 ounces salsa

Meatloaf Topping

8 ounces salsa
1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover baking sheet with foil.
Mix meatloaf ingredients well. Shape into loaves the desired size with your hands.
Top with salsa and remaining cheese. Bake until internal temperature is 160 degrees F.

*We made 7 mini meat loaves and they reached 160 degrees internal temp in 30 minutes.

Notes

Crush Doritos into fairly small pieces to make mixing easier
Shape meatloaves equal sizes so they cook evenly
Use a digital meat thermometer inserted in the center of meatloaves to ensure internal temperature reads 160ºF
Meatloaves can be topped with salsa and cheese at the beginning of baking time OR part way through baking time to prevent cheese from burning
Leftovers reheat well in the microwave
Meatloaves freeze well in an airtight container or freezer bag

It's a nice alternative for Taco Tuesday. I like that it freezes well for an easy leftover meal

Made this but substituted ground beef for ground pork. I also halved the recipe (used 1 egg instead of 2) and it made 4 small "loaves" (size of a large hamburger patty). I baked for 25 min and the meat was nice and juicy. Love the idea of small portions rather than one giant "block" of meatloaf. Another fabulous recipe, @Chi-town girl !!!!!

Just a thought......maybe these could be made into shape of a football for football season? 🏈 Little different design of cheese on top. 🤔 Either way, sounds like a tasty recipe, thanks @Chi-town girl .

Great suggestion @walker- also good for using muffin tins to make muffin loafs
