Enchilada Meat Loaf

This was a quick and easy recipe I found in an email. It is from Better Homes and Gardens.  I used ground turkey instead of ground beef.  I also did not use the cheese (I forgot to put it on) and I used onion flakes instead of chopped onion because my husband does not like onion in things.  I topped it with guacamole, sour cream and salsa!  Don't judge this recipe by the picture I took below...it tastes really good!

1 egg, lightly beaten
1 medium onion, finely chopped ( I used minced onion)
1/4 cup bottled salsa
2 Tbsp. chili powder
3 cloves garlic, minced (I used minced garlic in a jar)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey)
1 8.5 oz. pkg. corn muffin mix
2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
Bottled salsa (optional)
Guacamole
Sour cream


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl combine egg, onion, 1/4 cup salsa, the chili powder, garlic, and salt; add ground beef and mix well. Shape into a ball and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Flatten meat mixture to a 6-inch circle; set aside.

2. Prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread corn muffin batter over meat mixture in pie plate. Bake about 50 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat loaf registers 160F. Remove from oven. Halve cheese slices and arrange on top of the corn muffin mixture. Cover loosely and let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with additional salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Makes 6 servings.
