How to Make Grandmommy's Mexicali Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup tomato juice, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1/2 cup chopped onion.
- Avoid overmixing. Gently shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth and creamy.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Stir in 1 cup of corn.
- After 20 minutes of baking, pour the cheese sauce evenly over the meatloaf. Top with sliced green bell pepper rings.
- Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
