Enchilada Meat Loaf
from the kitchen of Debbie Ducker

Here is a recipe I created recently and
we fell in love with it… Try it on your
family and see what they think. If you
love enchiladas but don’t always have
the time for them you will love this.

1-1/2 Pounds of Ground Meat
(Venison, Beef, Etc.)

1 Small Onion Finely Chopped

2 Eggs Beaten

1 Cup of Medium Course Yellow Corn Tortilla Chip Crumbs

2 Cups of Your Favorite Enchilada Sauce

2 Cups of Grated Cheddar Cheese

Mix first four ingredients and 1 cup of the enchilada sauce until well combined. Press half of this mixture into a flat baking dish.

(I use a glass 12×2 oval dish.)

Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over this, leaving some space on the edges for sealing. Gently press second have of meat mixture over this and seal the edges. Bake for about 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

 (Until cooked through.)

Remove from oven. Pour remaining cup of enchilada sauce over the top and then sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of sauce. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes, until sauces is bubbly and cheese is melted well.

I serve it with salad and tortilla chips for pouring some of the extra sauce over. Very delicious. Can also be spiced up as much as you want.  My favorite way is to put finely chopped jalopeno peppers in with the meat mixture.
