Fiesta Meatloaf

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cups picante sauce, divided (she didn't buy hot picante sauce)
1 1/2 cup oats
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (3.8 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan or a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup picante sauce, oats, taco seasoning and garlic powder; mix well. Press into prepared baking pan.

Combine remaining 1 1/2 cups picante sauce, cheese, olives and chiles. Mix well. Pour sauce mixture over top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is no longer pink. (You can leave out the cheese without any loss in flavor.)

Makes 10 servings. (I'd say more than 10 based on the size of each mini loaf and depending on your sides.)
