 Making Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe

Today’s Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe is one of my absolute favorite meatloaves, because it’s slightly spicy, and less sweet, than the traditional method with ketchup on top.

How To: Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe

Made with lean ground beef, ground turkey, and loads of pureed veggies, it’s lighter than most meatloaf recipes. Plus, it’s also a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids.

 How To Make Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe

The robust Mexican flavor comes from using Old El Paso Taco Seasoning and Chopped Green Chiles in the meatloaf. Then smothering it in Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce.

Using Old El Paso Taco Seasoning is a fabulous meatloaf hack. You get all your herbs and spices in one packet! The green chiles offer a smoky quality.

 Make: Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe

Make sure your Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe has the perfect tender texture by thoroughly mixing the ingredients by hand. There should be no chunks of unblended ground meat of veggies anywhere.

Then shape the meatloaf and place it in the slow cooker.

 Best Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe

Slow cooking meatloaf is a great way to insure your meatloaf does not overcook. In fact, you can prep your Mexican Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe first thing in the morning and leave it to cook as you head off the work.

Kick the ketchup to the curb! Once in the crockpot, pour rich zesty Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce over the top of the meatloaf before cooking.

The enchilada sauce not only seasons the meatloaf from the outside in, it keeps the entire loaf ultra moist and tender.
