Extremely good! I made this for a church potluck (served cold) and it was a hit. I used red bell pepper and broiled it for the last 5 minutes to blacken it a little. Thanks for posting this wonderful and unique meatloaf recipe.

This was my first time making a mexican-type meatloaf and it turned out so well! I took another reviewer's recommendation to cut back on the salt and decided to substitute a bit of taco seasoning instead of the salt, cumin, and chili powder which was a perfect flavor! I also didn't have quick oats, so I ground up some old-fashioned oats and cut back to 3 eggs and it wasn't too heavy. I also added a cup of shredded mexi-blend cheese. The ketchup got mixed in with the rest of it since I didn't read thoroughly, but the little loaves were really were great!

Who ever said meatloaf is supposed to sliced nicely? Ya shape it into a loaf to cook, so it's a meatloaf :) This one was good but I wasn't crazy about the consistency with the quick oats. It made it kind of heavy. I might lighten it up next time using bread instead, but on the whole it was good!

Great meatloaf...doesn't taste like just a hamburger. Thanks

Very tasty meatloaf with a nice little bite. We enjoyed it very much, but it did not slice well, tends to fall apart; the taste is worth it though. I would make it again and maybe add another egg to help bind it. Thanks for sharing a good one.
