Foodbuzz Tastemaker: Pace Picante Sauce and Mini Meatloaves

As part of Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, I have received a sample of Pace Picante sauce. We thought this salsa-style sauce was very flavorful, and had a nice kick even with the medium level spice. Since the sauce is very smooth, it was great to use in cooking.

I made mini meatloaves with bison, four cheese mixture, and Pace Picante sauce. Because the sauce already contained tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers, I didn't have to add anything else other than the usual Panko breadcrumbs and an egg to keep the meatloaves together. It was a quick, easy, and delicious family weekday meal.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground bison
2/3 cup Pace Picante sauce
2/3 cup Mexican 4-cheese mix
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
Salt, pepper to taste

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix ground bison, Pace Picante sauce, cheese, bread crumbs, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Form six mini loaves and place in a baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done. Serve with additional Pace Picante sauce.
