I can't believe I'm the first person to review this recipe - it's a hidden gem that I'm so glad I found. I made these in the oven, but they also would be great for the grill or camping. These were great, like a mexican flavored meatloaf. We especially enjoyed the potato mixture. I might try this as a side dish, making just the potato portion.
