Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chicken rice soup, chopped green chilies, and tomato sauce.
  3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Spread the taco sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf, covering the surface completely.
  6. Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the taco sauce layer.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.
  9. Slice into portions and serve warm with your favorite sides.
