Tex Mex Meatloaf

This was really pretty good- and easy to make! I have never bought breadcrumbs before- which are used in traditional meatloaf, so grabbing some corn tortillas sounded easier. I highly recommend you make this to get a change of pace going on your dinner table.

2 eggs, beaten
8 corn tortillas (pulverized in food processor or blender)
1/2 c. finely chopped onions
1/4 c. green pepper or diced green chiles
1 tbl. chili powder (more if you're adventurous)
1 tea. salt
2 lbs. ground beef
1 c. ketchup (or see notes below)

Mix all ingredients except the ketchup in a large bowl. Shape into two loaves and place in 9x13 pan. Pour ketchup over the top and bake for 60 minutes at 350.

Note: The ketchup gives the meat a sweet flavor which would be good for young kids, or those adverse to spice, but I would recommend substituting the ketchup for a cup or more of salsa.
