Picante Meatloaf

"From Gramma's recipe collection. A twist on meatloaf. You can use spicier sauce if you like a bigger kick. The recipe calls for carrots, but as a kid I never knew they were there and Gramma assures me they were, so if you want your kids to eat more veggies, I suppose this is a good way to sneak them in! When I make it, I sometimes add salsa that contains black beans and corn to the loaf ingredients."

  1. We loved this meatloaf! The vegetables and seasonings are wonderful, making for a very flavourful and moist meatloaf. The aroma as it was baking was out of this world! I like the picante sauce on top but the meatloaf would be just as good without it. I used about 1 1/4 pounds of ground beef and grated the carrot. Excellent! Made for PAC 2008.
     
  2. This recipe was fantastic! I am by no means a meatloaf lover but was won over by this meal.<br/>My wife went back for seconds and she does not like picante/salsa!<br/>Simple, tasty and highly recommend.<br/>I followed the recipe as printed.<br/>I cooked mine in a cast iron skillet in the oven.
