Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup progresso breadcrumbs
1/2 cup kraft mexican cheese (crumbles)
1/2 cup ortega bottled chunky salsa
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon gourmet garden crushed garlic
1 1/4 ounces mccormick reduced taco seasoning

Method

Set up your grill for indirect cooking, ensuring no direct heat source sits beneath where the meatloaf will cook.
Take a large bowl and mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, cheese, 1/4 cup of the salsa, the egg, cilantro, garlic, and taco seasoning. Pierce the base of an 8 x 4 x 2 1/2-inch foil loaf pan several times. Press the meat mixture into the pan to fit its shape. Spoon the remaining 1/4 cup salsa over the top and lay the bacon slices on it.
Position the loaf pan on the grill over a drip pan and cover. Allow it to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is 160. Move the meatloaf to a cutting board and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Take it out of the pan, slice, and serve while warm.
