Oh, this is a good meatloaf!! Easy to make. Moist and very flavorful. Was great for sandwiches the next day. A definite keeper. Thanks, M&Mers!

WOW, meat loaf packed with flavour!! Very good M&Mers!! This is one of the better meat loaves we've tried and even better the next day! Made the meatloaf just as stated, just added one thing, 2 smashed cloves of garlic. Used my own homemade salsa inside and added some on top before I added the cheese. I'm making it again tonight, after dark when it's cooler and will have it cold in the fridge for a couple of cool suppers on these hot days. Thanks for sharing a keeper!!

This is fantastic. I didn't want whole kidney beans so I processed them to add the flavor but not the texture. It was great!! Thanks for a great recipe.

excellent! moist and very flavorful. all of us loved it. i used 3 pounds of lean ground beef in one loaf pan but did not double the rest of the ingredients. it turned out very nice, but next time i will double all the ingredients.
