A delightful twist on classic meatloaf, this casserole combines cheesy goodness with a hint of spice, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking, so don't skip this step.
Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of a greased casserole dish.
Crushing the chips evenly helps create a uniform base.
Layer the cooked meatloaf pieces over the chips.
Ensure the meatloaf pieces are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle the chopped onion, cumin, and cayenne over the meatloaf.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Spread half of the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses over the seasoned meatloaf.
Mixing the cheeses beforehand ensures an even distribution.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the layers.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly if needed.
Top with the remaining tortilla chips and sprinkle the rest of the cheeses over the top.
Press the chips slightly to ensure they adhere to the cheese.
Bake the casserole covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Covering the dish initially helps retain moisture.
Serve hot with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
Adding fresh cilantro as a garnish enhances the presentation.
