Mexican Meatloaf with Ranchera Sauce
Mexican Meatloaf with Ranchera Sauce
Albondigón RancheraMexican families like meatloaves just as we do. Sometimes the meat is formed around a stuffing and then it's called Albondigón Relleno or stuffed meatloaf. This south-of-the-border meatloaf gets a flavor boost from the spicy ranchera sauce that's spooned on top. Ranchera sauce is best known as the sauce for Huevos Rancheras, Mexico's most famous egg dish, but the sauce goes well with many other dishes, too.
