This was sooooo good. This was tonight's dinner. I got
the recipe from another list I'm on, I don't know
where the poster got it from. She didn't say (I hate
that).

Anyway, it was really good. I changed it a bit. I
added some chipotle to the taco seasoning mixture and
I put some oats in with bread crumbs to add more
nutrition too. Unnoticeable of course.

It was spicy but so good. I had 2 slices. I also broke
my diet as I had to because Meatloaf must have mashed
potatoes on the side and mashed cauliflower or turnips
wouldn't have been the same! Unbelievable.

Yummy.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl combine
ground beef, tomato sauce, dry bread crumbs, taco
seasoning mix, chipotle, green bell pepper, onion and
egg; mix thoroughly and set aside. In a medium bowl
combine cheddar cheese and sour cream. Place half the
meat mixture in loaf pan. Make a deep well the length
of loaf; place the cheese mixture in the well, then
place the remaining meat mixture on top. Bake for 1

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used 4 oz of pasta sauce.

Make sure to cook this for 1 hr 15 minutes. Put the
cheese on, let it melt, and then let it stand. If you
don't let it stand for 10 minutes, you won't be able
to cut it well, the inside cheese will go all over the
place. This way it solidifies slightly. This known
from experience!
