3                     garlic cloves, minced

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients except the beer in a bowl with a fork. Add beer a quarter at a time until all the ingredients are blended. Spoon into a greased 4 X 8 loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Tex-Mex Meat Loaf

Preheat oven to 375°F. Add more chili powder if you like! The nice part is, you don’t have to brown the ground beef!

Ingredients                                    Supplies/Equipment

1 1/2 lb (680 g)     ground beef*                  standard loaf pan
3 slices                   bread
1                             egg
10 oz can                diced tomatoes (300 mL)
1                             small onion, chopped
1/4 tsp                    black pepper
1 tsp                        chili powder

Ingredients (topping)
1/3 cup                   chili sauce (Louisiana hot sauce, whatever)
1/4 cup                   cheddar cheese, grated
Tear bread into small pieces. Combine main ingredients in a bowl. Spread into an ungreased loaf pan. Bake 1 hour in 375°F oven; drain excess drippings. Spoon chili sauce over cooked loaf, sprinkle with cheese, and bake an additional 15 minutes. The bread is awesome!

*You could use “Veggie Ground Round” instead of ground beef, although I haven’t tried it that way yet.
