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 !!!!!
