| 1. In large bowl, thoroughly mix together the hamburger, onions, pepper, tortilla chips, polenta and egg. | 2. In a separate bowl combine 1/2 can Ro-Tel, 1/2 can tomato sauce, tomato paste, onion flakes, chili powder, cumin, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and brown sugar. | 3. Add the seasoned sauce to the hamburger mix and combine well. | 4. Place 1/2 of the meat mixture into an oven proof baking pan (I use a muffin tin) | 5. Make a layer of cheese over the meat stopping 1/2 inch away from the outer edge. | 6. Place the remaining hamburger mix over the cheese, pressing lightly around the edges to keep the cheese from dripping out. | 7. Mix together the remaining Ro-Tel and tomato sauce and spread evenly over the top of the meatloaf. | 8. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. | 9. Remove from oven and place a layer of cheese over the top and dot with jalepeno slices if desired. | 10. Return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. | 11. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
