Spicy Meatloaf – A Different Twist

This Spicy Meatloaf recipe has a different twist on a favorite comfort food. Spicy salsa gives this loaf a blast of mouth-tingling Mexican flavors.

 

Heat-enthusiasts rejoice!

You can use spicier sauce if you like an even bigger kick. The recipe calls for carrots, so if you want your kids to eat more veggies this is a good way to sneak them in!

When I make it, I sometimes add salsa that contains black beans and corn to the loaf ingredients.

Boston Market Meatloaf

I’m a big Boston Market Meatloaf fan and with this recipe I can now make it at home. Love it! This recipe just couldn’t be easier to make.

Boston Market Meatloaf

I’ll be making this recipe a lot and it will replace my old recipe for meatloaf.

The secrets to this meatloaf is the combo of tomato and barbecue sauces and the ground sirloin or round versus ground chuck.

Holds together very well. Nothing like a meatloaf sandwich with this with sharp cheddar cheese on a Kaiser roll.

Boston Market Meatloaf
Ingredients
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons kraft barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground sirloin
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 dash garlic powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring often, and then remove it from the heat.
  3. In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the meat. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the meat until it is very well combined.
  4. Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt, onion powder and ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to work the spices and flour into the meat.
  5. Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the pan and place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and, if you aren't using a meatloaf pan, drain the fat.
  7. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce over the top of the meatloaf, in a stream down the center.
  8. Don't spread the sauce.
  9. Place the meatloaf back into the oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until it is done. Remove and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

Buffalo Sauce Blue Cheese Burgers

These Buffalo Sauce Blue Cheese Burgers are delicious! I like to double the hot sauce to give them even more spice. I like them with even more blue cheese crumbled on top.

 

Buffalo sauce is a mixture of melted butter and hot sauce. It’s a big claim to food fame for Buffalo, New York.

It’s normally served on fried chicken wings (Buffalo wings), but this burger is a great variation of the theme.

These Buffalo Sauce Blue Cheese Burgers are a favorite when I fire up the grill.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Buffalo Sauce Blue Cheese Burgers
Servings: 6
Calories: 345 kcal
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter cut in small pieces
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup finely crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 lbs 85% lean ground beef or 2 lbs ground buffalo meat
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 6 hamburger buns split
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter and whisk in the hot sauce.
  2. Mix the blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
  3. Using your hands, gently mix the ground beef, celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cheese-garlic mixture in the center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
  6. Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
  7. Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. Brush with the remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.

The texture of the tostada is so thick and delicious – very filling. I’ve also listed all the toppings that I like.

These are in my regular rotation and I make them at least once a month.
