Enchilada Meatloaf, Cornbread, Couscous, and Green Beans

I'm not quite sure how to describe the meatloaf.  Definitely not what I expected.  It was ok....I'd make it again, but it wouldn't be considered a favorite.  I think it had a little too much enchilada sauce on it especially on the top.  It was very easy to make.  Here's the recipe:

1lb ground beef
1 1/2 cups crumbled cornbread
1 10oz can of enchilada sauce
1/4 cup shredded cheddar

Combine the ground beef, corn bread, and all but 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce.  Press into loaf pan.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top of meatloaf, sprinkle with cheddar cheese. 

I would probably only put 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the top, but you can certainly experiment with it.  It didn't look very pretty and was kind of messy to serve. 

The couscous was Near East Parmesan Couscous....a favorite for sure.  Didn't really mix too well with the meatloaf like I had thought it would...just a different flavor. 

I didn't make the cornbread.  I bought it at Safeway....it was a little too sweet and tasted more like yellow cake than corn bread.  I love yellow cake so I'm not complaining, but it was just not what I expected. 

An interesting dinner....a good experiment, but not one of my favs.
