Mouthwatering fibre! Moist and savoury, topped with salsa for a Southwestern twist.
Tip: This meat mixture is also enough to make 2 dozen mini-hamburgers, instead of meatloaf. For Southwest Sliders: Form the uncooked meat mixture into 3″ (7.5 cm) patties. Heat a non-stick skillet, lightly coated with cooking spray, at medium heat. Cook patties in batches until food thermometer reads 160°F (71°C) at centre of patties – about 2 -3 minutes per side. Serve on toasted mini-hamburger buns with Sweet Salsa Sauce, above, along with fresh toppings and condiments, such as: shredded lettuce, diced onions, sliced tomatoes and avocadoes.
