Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 medium carrot finely chopped
  • 1 rib finely chopped celery
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 ounces soft Mexican chorizo removed from casing and crumbled
  • 1 poblano chile roasted, peeled, and diced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 eggs well beaten
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 canned chile in adobo sauce diced
  • 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a heavy skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring often until vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Set aside and cool.
  3. In a large bowl combine the sauteed vegetables, ground beef, chorizo, diced poblano chile and next 8 ingredients through bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly with clean hands.
  4. Put the mixture into a 9 by 13-inch loaf-pan. Coat the top of the loaf with salsa. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any accumulated pan juices.
  5. Slice and serve.
