Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Crushed tortilla chips
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Diced onions
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your slow cooker by spraying the inside with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, salsa, diced onions, milk, and chopped cilantro (if using).

Step 3

Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until they are well-combined, but do not overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape that will fit inside your slow cooker.

Step 5

Carefully place the meatloaf into the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Optional: Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker and place it on a baking sheet. Broil it in the oven for 2–3 minutes to give it a golden, crispy crust.

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with additional salsa or taco toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or chopped tomatoes for garnish.
