Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. Line a loaf pan with foil to make it easy to remove the meatloaf and for easy clean up.
In a mini food processor, add ¼ cup ketchup and the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Blend until smooth.
Next, add the egg to the mini processor and pulse until blended/combined.
To a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ketchup/chipotle mixture, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
Mix to combine. Note: it will seem a bit wet, but that is just right.
Transfer the meatloaf mix to the loaf pan lined with foil. Form it into a loaf shape. Then top with the remaining ⅓ cup ketchup.
Bake for 45 minutes uncovered. That’s it! When you take it out, let it rest for 5-10 minutes until the juices soak back into the meat.
Slice, serve, Enjoy!
