Ingredients

• 1 lb. 90% or leaner ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup fine, dry, breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 6 Tbsp. ketchup
• 2 tea. chili powder
• 1 tea. cumin
• 1/4 tea. salt
• 1/4 tea. pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1/8 tea. ground chipotle pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. coat four 8-12 oz. small baking dishes, such as mini loaf pans, with cooking spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet. (Alternatively, make free form meatloaves and bake directly on the baking sheet.)

Combine beef, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 Tbsp. ketchup, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and place in the prepared baking dishes. Make a1 1/2" deep indentation with your finger down the length of each meatloaf. Stuff each with 2 Tbsp. cheese and pinch the edges closed to seal.

Combine the remaining 4 Tbsp. ketchup and chipotle in a bow; spread over each loaf.

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees., 20-30 minutes.
