Leave your old boring meatloaf recipe at home and make this tasty Meatloaf Recipe with Chorizo Queso!

Mexican-Meatloaf-9

Ummmm, this is the best meatloaf recipe and I’m not even kidding.  You’ve got roasted peppers, bacon wrapped, queso sauce with chorizo sausage dumped all over meatloaf..  Yeah, exactly!

I know it may be weird but water soaked French bread and then completely squeezed out, and then added into the meatloaf is spectacular.  It helps to keep it moist and delicious.

Mexican-Meatloaf-2

Simply mix it in along with some bell peppers, beans, onions, and a minced up chipotle pepper.

The queso is super easy to make, just cook off the chorizo sausage in a pot until it’s cooked through out, and then add in the pasteurized prepared cheese product along with 1 can of strained rotel.  Melt all that goodness together and you’ve got chorizo queso.

Mexican-Meatloaf-7

Line the loaf pans with bacon and add the meatloaf mixture in and then simply fold the extra bacon over top and bake.

I would also recommend serving this up with some chips, could be one heck of a nacho combo 🙂  You’re welcome!

Let it sit for a few minutes before removing from the loaf pan, and slice and pour on the chorizo queso.
