I was determined to make this killer Chipotle Glazed Meatloaf from one of my fave tex-mex cookbooks, The Homesick Texan Cookbook
. Sure, meatloaf sounds a bit more like Bobby Ewing’s style but, I could see Miss Ellie serving this and not allowing J.R. to protest that evening’s menu. To make it a bit more “fancy-pants”, I used ground short rib in place of the chorizo and added some smoky goodness with smoked paprika. I used the chipotle puree from my freezer and some ground garlic crackers in place of the tortilla chips. The glaze pureed up nicely in the Vitamix (sidenote – how did I ever live without my new toy. My kitchen didn’t look like a bomb hit it like it does when I use a food processor).
Final verdict – This meatloaf was spicy, sweet and just “stick to your ribs” good.

The end result – a meatloaf Miss Ellie would be proud of.
