Southwest Meatloaf

Submitted by mary winecoff

"This is a unique meatloaf recipe. Very moist. My friend gave me this recipe and I know she got it out of a magazine but neither one of us know which one! It called for more cilantro and onions and I did cut these back. This is not a pretty meatloaf....just a great tasting one!"

I made the recipe exactly as directed except used a regular size onion. We like loaf-shaped meat loaf and this made two medium sized loafs. We will have it again, very tasty. I made it for the Photo Tag Winter game.
