1 c. quick-cooking oatmeal
1 (12 oz.) can whole tomatoes, cut up
3 jalapeno peppers, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. red pepper sauce
1 tbsp. cumin seed, crushed
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 lbs. lean ground beef

In large bowl, combine all ingredients except beef. Add beef, mix well. Pat mixture into 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. For a milder meatloaf, omit jalapeno peppers and red pepper sauce and reduce chili powder to 1 tablespoon. Serves 6.
