When I think of meatloaf, I remember Sunday dinners with my mom’s classic meatloaf. She never used a recipe. She just dumped in some breadcrumbs, eggs, tomato sauce, and some salt and pepper. But since I am a food blogger and like to get a little crazy, I’ve expanded on this simple, classic meatloaf recipe.

First, I made my Stuffed Meatloaf, and now, I’m spicing things up with this Mexican Meatloaf. What makes this meatloaf “Mexican?” This homemade meatloaf has chorizo and salsa mixed in with the beef, and that’s all topped off with a sweet and spicy sauce spiced with cayenne.

Ingredients for Mexican Meatloaf

  • lean ground turkey or beef
  • chorizo sausage
  • salsa
  • onion soup mix
  • chili powder
  • cumin
  • cayenne pepper

If you’ve never heard of chorizo (or used it) before, that’s okay! It’s a spicy Mexican sausage and you can find it in the butcher section of your local grocery store. This recipe uses just a little bit, but if you REALLY like things spicy, you can always use more!

I use a mix of ground turkey, ground beef, and chorizo for this Mexican Meatloaf, but you can use all turkey or all beef if you like. (And if you forget to defrost your meat ahead of time, happens to me all the time, try my tip for how to quickly thaw ground beef.) The addition of the salsa and chorizo adds just a touch of heat that’s so tasty! But to really take this meatloaf over the top, you MUST add the topping! It’s a sweet and spicy kick you’ll love!

This Mexican Meatloaf made with ground turkey and chorizo is covered with a sweet and spicy sauce your whole family will love!
