    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 lb lean ground beef 90/10

    1 1/2 cup taco sauce divided

    2/3 cup crushed nacho cheese flavored Doritos divided

    1 1.25 oz packet taco seasoning

    1 medium sweet onion finely diced

    1 tsp cumin

    1 tsp lemon pepper

    1 tsp garlic powder

    1 tsp Mexican oregano

    2 large eggs beaten

    1 8 oz block pepper-jack cheese, sliced into 14 even slices

    1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly brush a 10-inch cast iron skillet or similar with oil. Set aside.
    In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, 1/2 cup taco sauce, 1/3 cup crushed Doritos, taco seasoning, onion, cumin, lemon pepper, garlic powder, oregano and eggs. Using your hands mix until the ingredients are fully combined.

    Press 1/2 of the meatloaf mixture into the skillet. Gently press the pepper-jack cheese slices over the meat keeping at least 1/2-inch from the edge. Top with the remaining meatloaf mixture.

    Spread 1/2 cup taco sauce over the meat and place into the oven to bake for 40 minutes.

    After 40 minutes spread the remaining 1/2 cup taco sauce on top and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese and remaining crushed Doritos.

    Continue to bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until cooked through and the meat is no longer pink.

    Rest for 10-15 minutes, slice and serve.

    Notes

    1/2 tsp Italian oregano may be substituted for the Mexican oregano, if desired.
