Creole Santa Fe Meatloaf
This southwestern style meatloaf recipe comes from looking it up on the web and deciding to make a better recipe, before trying it the first time.(As big as this Meatloaf became, what was left was given out as a test taster samples)

Please share this recipe, to good to hold on to..

Being a wienie nuker and potato chip eater I was wondering where you find all this stuff. I've never even heard of half of it. Pickle relish and French's mustard in a pooper bottle is about the extent of my culinary expertise. Looks like an awful lot of bother for something to eat. I don't cook nothin' that takes longer to fix than it does to consume. Are you permitted to have snacks while all this is going on?

Looking good. Will definitely try it out. When it get's winter again I will post my Southwestern Chicken Stew -- - - everything from salsa to cinnamon in it and haven't seen ANYONE eat just one bowl.

· I usually us my leftover smoked �Chicken / Turkey� breast that I had grilled and cut them into strips, about 4 cups
· 1 C, or medium onion, chopped coarsely(Beginning of a trinity)
· 1 C, green onions, chopped(second part of a trinity)
· 1 green bell pepper, chopped coarsely(ending part of a trinity)
· 2 or 4 jalapeno peppers or other green hot pepper, minced (optional)
· 1 can (15 ounce) diced "tomatoes w/green chilli", with juice
· 1 can (15 ounce) whole kernel corn, drained
· 1 can (15 ounce) whole �Turttle beans / black beans, drained
· 1/4 cup converted rice
· 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
· 1/2 teaspoon cumin
· 1/4 teaspoon oregano leaves
· 2 bay leaves
· 6 shots of Tabasco �Chipolata� sauce
· salt and pepper to taste
· bag of corn chips
· 24oz sour cream
· bag of sharp cheddar cheese
Combine all ingredients, except for the corn chips sour cream cheddar cheese, in the slow cooker/Crock Pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 1/2 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. When serving add a handful of crunched Corn chips a spoon full(or two) of sour cream, ¼ cup of cheddar cheese on top and hit it with more �Chipolata Sauce� stir to thicken...

How is that off the top of my head..

Trinity:
Trinity is a blend of three flavors:
1 - Onions
2 - Green onions / celery
3 - Bell pepper

You sauté this in butter then I add my garlic after the onions become transparent.
So as you can see I forgot to add 6 cloves of garlic and cilantro to the recipe above.
You add these to the �Trinity�, garlice first for 5 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
Add the cilantro leaves(I cut mine with scissors, but you can just finely chop it off of the bunch stems an all) - 1 ½ cups

I'll post my cucumber Benedictine recipe next week, after I get overrun with my crop and start searching for exotic cuke recipes.
