Ingredients

Servings

For the meatloaf

  • cooking oil for the pan, or nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef preferably 80/20
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound spinach thawed and squeezed dry, frozen, chopped
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • One package (1 ounce) fajita seasoning store-bought or homemade, or Texas Dry Rub
  • 4 ounces diced green chile peppers canned
  • 2 large egg beaten

For the glaze

  • 1 cup ketchup store-bought or homemade
  • 1/3 cup apricot jam store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chile finely chopped, canned
  • scallions for garnish (optional, chopped

Instructions

Make the meatloaf

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Slick a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-13-cm) loaf pan or rimmed baking sheet with oil or coat with cooking spray.☞ TESTER TIP: For easier cleanup, line your loaf pan or baking sheet with foil before coating with oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients and transfer to the prepared loaf pan, or shape into a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-13-cm) loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet.☞ TESTER TIP: For a neater free-form loaf, line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and press the meat mixture into the pan. Flip the loaf pan onto your baking sheet, remove the plastic wrap, and voila, perfection!

Make the glaze

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, apricot jam, and chipotle chile, and spread about 3/4 of it over the meatloaf. Reserve the remaining glaze.
  2. Bake until the meatloaf is cooked through and registers 155° to 160°F (68° to 71°C) on an instant read thermometer, 45 to 75 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven, coat with the remaining glaze, and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice into 1-inch-thick (25-mm) pieces. Sprinkle with scallions, if using, and serve.
