Method (preview)

1. 1

   In a large skillet heat the olive oil and, when hot, saute the onion, bell pepper and poblano until very soft, 6 to 8 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the garlic, Southwest Essence, salt, and oregano and cook for 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

5. 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled vegetable mixture, sirloin, chorizo, tortilla chips, eggs, and heavy cream and mix gently but thoroughly until well-combined.

6. 6

   Transfer the meat mixture to a 6 by 9- inch loaf pan and pat the top to form a smooth loaf shape.

7. 7

   Place the chili sauce, pepper jelly, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.

8. 8

   Spoon about 2/3 of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf and reserve the remaining sauce on the side.

9. 9

   Transfer the meatloaf to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 150 degrees F, about 1 hour.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

11. 11

    When ready to serve, slice into 3/4-inch thick slices and serve with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, passing the remaining glaze around the table for guests who might like a bit more sauce.

12. 12

    Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch.

13. 13

    Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

14. 14

    Strain the potatoes in a colander and return to the saucepan over medium-high heat to evaporate any remaining water.

15. 15

    Lower the heat and add the butter, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

16. 16

    Using a potato masher, mash to the desired consistency. Add the cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
