Problem, I only had 1 (8oz) Hunt's Roasted Garlic tomato sauce, and 1 (7oz) Herdez Salsa Ranchera can. So I mixed them both to use as tomato sauce, and followed the recipe. The only thing I did to this recipe, was add more brown sugar, honey, and honey to the topping, because the Herdez salsa was so spicy.
Meatloaf:
1 1/2 pounds hamburger
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
1 tsp. minced onion
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce, divided

Topping:
Reserved tomato sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. prepared mustard

Mix together hamburger, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and eggs. Add onions and 1/2 of tomato sauce. Form into loaf in 9x5x3" pan. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. In saucepan, combine topping ingredients; bring to a boil. Pour over meatloaf and bake 10 minutes more.

I usually cut into the meat loaf before adding topping so that it seeps into each slice. It's a sweet meatloaf, with a bite. Any leftovers are used for cold meatloaf sandwiches.

This is the salsa I used, which is the hottest. I also use this for enchilladas, etc. http://www.worldfood.com/mex/herdez/salsa.asp

I make a great chili. Only problem is my wife won't let me make it very often due to major methane problems after eating it!

My wife's a great cook but she doesn't cook anymore...life's too hectic for us. Maybe on Sundays but then it's like were spent! Fordzgal...can you put out your recipe on the Jambalaya and maybe the Gumbo too? I love that kinda stuff.

I like to make chili, I make my own chili powder and I smoke the meat first. Turkey or pork or both it depends on my mood, and often I will use black beans but black eyed peas are good with the pork. Lot of onion and roasted green chilis.

Well I kinda guesstimate alot of the Jambalaya recipe...it's in my head. The Gumbo isn't me though that is all hubby and he is out to sea right now

Gumbo sounds good right about now too!

Jambalaya
3- 3 1/2 pounds chicken cut into pieces
1/2 t pepper
2 t salt
2T Veg Oil
1 pound smoked pork sausage cut into 1/4" pieces
1 large yellow oinion chopped
1 chopped green bell pepper
1-2 T garlic
3-4 bay leaves
1 can of stewed tomatoes cut up or 1 cup fresh
3 c long grain rice
3 1/2 c water
1 can of chicken broth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heat oil in large pot over med-hi heat
add chicken cook until browned
add sausage and cook about 2 min until browned
add Oinion, bell pepper, garlic, bay leaves, salt, pepper and stir occasionally until soft
add Tomatoes, rice, water, chicken broth and bring to a boil
reduce heat to med-low, cover and let cook WITHOUT lifting the lid for about 35 mins... when you lift the lid of pot it increases cooking time
Remove from heat and let sit for a few mins then serve!
I like offering Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning with it...makes it burn soooo good!!

It's really quick and easy to make...hope you like it!
