What's for Dinner? Cornbread Topped Meatloaf

I used this buttermilk cornbread recipe: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977220648 for the top. You can always use a pre-packaged mix to save time.

1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, minced
1/4 cup salsa (I used homemade habanero)
2 T Mexican chili powder
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
pinch salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
corn bread batter
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar (or your favorite)

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray.

Mix all ingredients and form into a ball. Carefully transfer to the prepared pie plate and flatten to about a 6" circle.






Pour batter over the meat.





Bake 45-50 minutes. Remove and sprinkle carefully with cheese. Return to oven til the cheese melts, about five minutes.

I served this with sour cream and salsa. I made Matt a milder salsa with a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, cilantro, onion, lime juice and sea salt.

Delish!http://media-files.gather.com/images/d228/d583/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

How many does this serve Shannon. I have two really big eaters. And there is a total of five in our family.

Blessings

I've been thinking meatloaf for dinner tonight.... maybe ... if I can get that motivated
Ely B. Feb 7, 2008, 6:27pm UTC
looks yummy
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Feb 7, 2008, 6:28pm UTC
Wiaka, I made two cuts for a total of four servings. Unless you have someone that is a VERY tiny eater, this wouldn't be quite enough for five, I don't think.

Thanks, all!
Sorry, I think you know my stand on meatloaf. :)

Cool idea with the cornbread added to the top. I see you have cilantro on the side, but I bet it would be good mixed into the meatloaf too. Thanks for sharing!
