Mexican Meatloaf – Family Style

Ingredients:

1 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup egg beaters
1 cup reduced fat colby and monterey jack cheese, grated 
2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 cloves freshly minced garlic
8 oz diced green chile peppers

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400° F (200° C). In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, egg beaters and spices together. Cut a large square of waxed paper and roll out the ground beef mixture into a flat square. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the green chili peppers. Roll the waxed paper, with the meatloaf in the middle, until it shapes into a loaf. Carefully unfold the waxed paper from the meatloaf and remove. Fold the ends of the meatloaf to the cheese and chiles will not spill out during cooking. Place in a loaf pan. Top with other half of cheese, green chiles and sour cream. Bake in oven at 400° F for 45 to 60 minutes.

The whole family will enjoy this! It also makes for great leftovers.

Is the picture of the recipe as given? What is the red ketchup or tomato sauce topping shown? Nothing in the recipe indicates that...
