Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, cook until meatloaves reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using ground turkey, cook until meatloaves reach minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Coarsely crush crackers in shipping bag.

    In a mixing bowl, combine crushed crackers, ground pork, 2/3 the taco seasoning (reserve remaining for squashlotes), 1/3 the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for sauce), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Form mixture into four equally-sized, oval-shaped loaves, about 3" in length and 2" by height.

  2. 2

    Make the Squashlotes

    Halve any large butternut squash pieces to roughly match smaller pieces.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add butternut squash and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned, 8-12 minutes.

    If pan is dry, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    Add corn, remaining taco seasoning, and 1 tsp. lime juice. Stir occasionally until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While squashlotes cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatloaves

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add meatloaves to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until lightly charred on one side, 4-6 minutes.

    Flip meatloaves and cover. Cook until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While meatloaves cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Combine 1/4 cup water, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until hot, 60-90 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Stir in remaining shredded cheese until melted and combined.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping meatloaves with sauce and garnishing squashlotes with sour cream and cotija. Squeeze lime wedges over meal to taste. Bon appétit!
