• 1 14-ounce can, drained Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk. Mix gently until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

If desired, fold in the chopped cilantro for an additional layer of flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and hot sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
