“This different and delicious twist on an All-American favorite combines ground beef and pork with onion soup mix, picante sauce, eggs, green peppers, bread crumbs and topped with nacho cheese soup. Give it a try!” - by samsnana

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound lean ground pork
3/4 cup warm water
2 slightly beaten eggs
1/3 cup picante sauce
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced green bell pepper

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Mix the beef, pork, water, eggs, picante sauce, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and bell pepper together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Pack into the prepared loaf pan, then poke holes into the loaf with a fork nearly to the bottom of the pan. Pour the undiluted cheese sauce over the top of the roast and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).

MOIST, ..." See moreTENDER, & FLAVORFULL WITHOUT BEING OVERLY MEXICAN FLAVORED. I AS USUAL, DID NOT CHANGE A THING ON THE FIRST TRY. AND TO BE HONEST, I WILL NOT CHANGE A THING IN THE FUTURE....PERFECT COMBINATION. I DID USE A WOODEN SPATULA TO LIFT THE MEATLOAF OUT SINCE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF GREASE [I USUALLY MICROWAVE MY MEATLOAF, DRAIN THE GREASE, SLICE, & RETURN TO MICROWAVE WITH GRAVY ADDED] BUT ONCE YOU LIFT THE LOAF UP, THE GREASE IS LEFT BEHIND. WILL PROBABLY BECOME OUR NEW FAVORITE MEATLOAF! THANKS SAMSNANA! "
