WOW! This has a fantastic flavor, my daughter really loved it. Usually she doesn't want too much of anything but she held her plate out for more on this one! This has a nice flavor that is good wrapped in flour tortillas like a burrito also. It just doesn't reheat as well as traditional meatloaves so plan to eat it all the same meal, but as good as it tastes, that no problem! Thanks for a really great recipe, Catbeckster!

My husband loves meatloaf so I thought I would give your version a try out. We both loved it, the kids too. We thought the flavor was most certainly Southwestern and not too over the top. I cut it into slices and it didn't fall apart when served. We topped it with salsa and my kids wanted ketchup on theirs (what can you do?). Thank you for a delicious new-fangled meatloaf recipe.
