New Mexico Green Chile Meatloaf

(9)

Growing up in New Mexico, we had access to the Hatch green chile (the best!). I add green chile to a lot of my recipes and it rather sets this meatloaf off. It's very good cold, made into sandwiches the second day.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds hamburger

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (6 ounce) can diced green chiles

  • ¾ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup milk, or as needed

  • 2 eggs

  • 15 crushed crackers

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.

  2. Mix hamburger, tomatoes, green chiles, onion, milk, eggs, crackers, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  4. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a serving dish.

Cook’s Note

If you can find them, use Big Jim Hatch chiles — roasted, peeled, and diced.
