Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 1 large Egg
  • 4 ounces Green Chilis (drained)
  • 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Rotel (drained)
  • 1/2 Red Onion (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cups Pork Rind Crumbs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/3 cup Salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Add the ground beef, egg, green chilis, taco seasoning, Rotel, red onion, pork rind crumbs, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Knead with your hands to combine well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  2. Form Meatloaf: Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the bottom of a well-greased slow cooker or Crockpot.
  3. Cook Low: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours to allow the meatloaf to cook through and develop rich flavors.
  4. Drain Excess Fat: Carefully remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker and drain any excess fat or grease accumulated during cooking to keep the dish lean and greasy-free.
  5. Add Toppings: Return the meatloaf to the Crockpot, spread the salsa evenly over the top.
  6. Cheese Melt: Sprinkle the Mexican blend shredded cheese over the salsa-covered meatloaf, cover, and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes to melt the cheese perfectly.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the Rotel and green chilis well to avoid excess moisture in the meatloaf mixture.
  • Using pork rind crumbs instead of breadcrumbs keeps this recipe keto-friendly.
  • If desired, serve with low-carb sides like cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
  • You can customize the level of spice by adjusting the amount of taco seasoning or salsa used.
