Preheat oven
to 375 degrees. Combine first 12 ingredients in a large bowl, and
stir well. Crumble beef over vegetable mixture, and stir just until
blended. Pack mixture into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking
spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until meat loaf registers
160 degrees. Let meat loaf stand in pan 10 minutes. Remove meat
loaf from pan; cut loaf into 16 slices. Serve with commercial salsa,
if desired.
Yield: 8 servings
(serving size: 2 slices). Sandwich suggestion: Serve leftover meat
loaf slices in taco shells; top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato,
and shredded cheese.

NOTES : The
whole world's crazy about Mexican food -- why not a south-of-the-border
meat loaf? This one uses black beans, jalapeno pepper, and, in place
of breadcrumbs, crushed taco shells.
