How to Make 20 Minute Mini Meat Loaves
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup salsa, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well blended.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 cup crushed tortilla chips, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended) to the bowl.
- Gently mix all ingredients with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into 5 mini loaves, approximately 5 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the loaves are cooked through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Let the mini meat loaves rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sauce, such as extra salsa or sour cream.
