Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef * see note
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup pasilla peppers chopped
  • 1 cup tortilla chips crushed
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ⅓ cup leek or onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning see note.

Burger Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • ¼ cup pasilla pepper slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large bowl, add all ingredients (the first 9 ingredients).
  • Mix well. Add to a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Top with more shredded cheese and bake for 35 minutes or until done. Depending on the size of your dish it may cook slower or faster.
  • Assemble as a burger with fresh cilantro and pasilla pepper slices. You can add more salsa on top if you like.

Notes

  1. Use ground beef, lamb, pork, chicken, or turkey in this meatloaf burger recipe.
  2. Be sure to check the label of your taco seasoning to ensure it is gluten free.
  3. I like to use gluten free ciabatta buns by Schar. Any gluten free hamburger bun will also work well. You can also make my homemade Gluten Free Hamburger Buns recipe.
  4. Pasilla peppers, aka padrone peppers, are very mild. You can also use green bell peppers.
  5. These burgers will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
