Chorizo Sausage Recipes Recipe For Meatloaf

MEXICAN CHORIZO MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a heavy skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, ground beef, chorizo and green chiles.
• In a medium bowl, combine the salt, cumin, black pepper, cayenne and eggs. Add the ketchup and sour cream. Mix well with a fork, then pour it on top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly with clean hands.
• Put the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any accumulated pan juices.
• For the salsa-glaze: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, sugar, mustard, green chiles and chipotle chile. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
• Slice the meatloaf and arrange on a platter. Spoon the salsa-glaze over the meatloaf, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350° degrees F.
• NOTE: I like to grill the corn for a bit of a charred taste, but you can cook it however you desire. Or you can use corn from the can.
• Heat medium pot, add about 1 tablespoons oil. Once oil is heated add onions, jalapeno, & green pepper. Cook until semi-soft, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook about another minute. Remove from pan and set aside.
• In same pan cook chorizo as directed on package, usually about 10-12 minutes, add tomato paste. Remove from heat and drain if needed. Let cool so it can be added with ground chicken without cooking it in bowl.
• In large bowl combine bread crumbs & spices, mix well. Add ground chicken & eggs, mix well. Add cooled vegies, including corn and beans. Add chorizo and mix well. Form into meatloaf.
• Place in lightly greased loaf pan and bake covered with foil for 1 hour.
• You can check internal temperature for 160° since you are using chicken, let rest for 5-10 minutes for temperature to reach 165° and then serve.
• NOTE: You can serve this with salsa for an extra kick in flavor.
