Nacho Cheese Dorito Meatloaf

Tender ground beef mixed with onion and seasoning….and a secret ingredient: Nacho Cheese Doritos. A unique and delicious twist on meatloaf that everyone will love!

Nacho Cheese Doritos? I understand that you may be skeptical by the addition of snack chips to a meatloaf but res assured that this unique combination is delicious.

The BBQ and light cheese flavor is really good and the meat is so nice and tender. It is a totally unconventional meatloaf recipe, but a little creativity with our meatloaf resulted in an absolutely delicious dinner.     

We love to have fun with different flavors and combinations in the kitchen, and this meatloaf does just that! My kids also thought it was a lot of fun that they got to have Doritos for dinner.

I love a simple BBQ on top of this meatloaf, and you could add a little hot sauce if you wanted a little heat in the topping. I always top the meatloaf towards the end of the cook time because it prevents it from becoming charred and maintains the sweet flavor.
