Green Chili Meatloaf is perfect this time of year. Made with a filling of green chili and cheese, this meatloaf can also be topped with green chili. You won’t be worry, either way!

So how do we get to chili lover’s meatloaf? Ya got me.

Sometimes I get tired of cooking the same thing and my brain goes a bit haywire.

Like when I clean house, manservant tells me it goes totally out of control.

I can imagine everything under the sun and I have a pretty deep, sometimes dark, imagination. But one day I thought of this.

And I thought I don’t need to make a pot of chili, I’m going to make a chili meat loaf.

Life changing, right? Well, not really. But I googled and I really couldn’t find too many recipes that looked good, so I made up my own.

Now I need to find something else to imagine because this came out really good.

Manservant loves chili. He’s from Tayxas, so that explains it, right? I’m from Illinois, and though we like chili, I never really needed chili.

Well, Manservant needs chili. It’s in his genes (jeans?).

Especially after yard work, and during football games. And for lunch, and for breakfast over eggs, and well, I could go on and on.

This meat loaf came out so good that I crumbled it up and put it on nachos.

I put it in scrambled eggs. I put it between two slices of bread. I wrapped some in a tortilla with some beans and called it a burrito.

Now, I know you could do all of that with a bowl of chili, but sometimes we all need a change. I know I’m ready and I’m not just talking meatloaf.

Their chili ain’t for people from Tayxas. I mean it has mushrooms in it. It looks like a really bean filled, easy chili to please a lot of people, but when I make my chili I like to up the ante, so to speak.

In other words, feel free to dial the spices whatever direction you want.

This is another fun meatloaf.

Compare it if you want to my Cap’n Crunch meat loaf. I like that a lot, too.

One of my favorite things about making meatloaf is having leftovers.

Now that the kids have moved on (sob, sob) we get a lot more leftovers. They were never a dirty word in our house.

Don’t forget all the things you can do with those leftovers.

And when you are finished eating this spicy, delectable green chili meatloaf, make sure to save some for breakfast!

Thanks for the giveaway…we use two pounds of ground beef, a can of condensed tomato soup, 1 envelope dry onion soup and recipe mix, oatmeal, an egg, and seasoning to taste. We will throw in some chopped onion, garlic, or green peppers if we have some as well.

I make mine in the oven. The less ingredients the better. Yum!

We use onion soup mix, an egg, crushed saltines and last few minutes of baking-top with ketchup and brown sugar mix. Super easy!

I first take my hamburger and marinate it overnight in some Italian dressing, oregano, thyme and garlic. The next day I drain off the excess and put it in a bowl. I then add some herb bread crumbs, honey mustard, onions, peppers and salt and pepper. I put it in my coated loaf pan and then cover it in marinara sauce mixed with some brown sugar. I bake it for about 45 minutes and then like to add a finish of some soy sauce.Laurie Emersonlauraemerson17 at yahoo dot com
