How to Make Rio Grande Mini Loaves
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, chili powder, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a small loaf, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Place the mini loaves in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Top each meatloaf with a slice of cheese.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of salsa onto the center of each cheese slice.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the meatloaves are cooked through.
- Serve immediately with extra salsa and your favorite sides, such as Spanish rice and a crisp salad.
