Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make New Mexico Green Chile Meatloaf Dish.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your loaf pan a light greasing to ensure your meatloaf slides out easily later.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ground hamburger with diced tomatoes, zesty green chiles, finely chopped onion, a splash of milk, eggs, crushed crackers, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix everything together until it’s well blended and full of flavor.
Step 4
Once your mixture is ready, transfer it into the greased loaf pan, shaping it into a nice, even loaf.
Step 5
Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Step 6
You’ll know it’s done when there’s no pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 160°F (70°C).
Step 7
When the timer goes off, resist the urge to dive right in! Let your meatloaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
This little pause allows the juices to settle, making every slice deliciously moist.
Step 9
After that, gently transfer your meatloaf to a serving dish, and get ready to enjoy a comforting meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table!.
