A unique and intriguing recipe which not only tastes delicious but is also high in protein.
Ingredients
450g lean ground beef
½ cup finely crushed corn chips
1 beaten egg
3 teaspoons chilli powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ cup of salsa
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup of cottage cheese
Topping
1 cup of refried beans
¼ cup of salsa
1 cup of cottage cheese
Directions
In a bowl, mix the ground beef, corn chips, egg, chilli powder, cumin, salsa, black pepper and ½ cup of cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly and form into an oval on the baking sheet (not in a loaf pan).
In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with ¼ cup of salsa and frost the top of the uncooked meatloaf with it. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes. The last few minutes of baking time, sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with one cup of cottage cheese and return to oven.
To serve, gently slide a thin spatula under the meatloaf to loosen it from the baking pan and lift it (all in one piece) to a nice serving dish.
