Confetti Meatloaf

 This recipe came from our July meal prep workshop.  I fixed it as a meal rather than putting it in the freezer for later.  It was different but hubby preferred my stand by meatloaf.  I used 99% fat free ground turkey.  Hubby makes meatloaf sandwiches with the leftovers.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs 85% lean ground beef

1 c  Corn, Black Bean Salsa, plus more for garnish

3/4 c crushed tortilla chips

1 large egg

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In large bowl, combine all ingredients.  Salt and pepper as desired.  
2. 
   Transfer to a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. 
3. Bake until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 1 hour.  
4. 
   Remove from oven.  Let stand 10 minutes.  

Serve garnished with additional Corn, Black Bean Salsa, if desired.  

Makes 6 servings.

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Prepare step 1.  Place in a gallon freezer bag.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Continue with step 2.

During the workshop we did it in this order:

• Fold the seam edges of the freezer bag over, place in a slop bowl.
• Put salsa in first.  
• Add egg, gently mix to break up egg.  
• Add meat, smoosh to mix up.  
• Add chips, mix.  
• Shape, squeeze air out to fit in pan.
