I like the use of salsa instead of ketchup, but I agree with another reviewer that the breadcrumbs were a bit much. Thank you.

I made this meatloaf and while it had a good flavor the bread crumbs made it taste like stuffing. I will try again using only 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.<br/><br/>Zen

Excellent! So moist and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using Barbeque sauce to top the meatloaf instead of salsa because I did not have any this time. Will try with the salsa the next time. Keeper recipe.<br/>Update: This is my go to meatloaf recipe. The last time I skipped the milk and used 1/2 cup of Italian bread crumb and I love the texture of the meatloaf.

Dee-lish!!! However....suggest you cut the recipe in half, and add salsa not only on top, but in the mixture as well. I will definitely make this recipe again, but will add shredded cheese into the mix....i think that was the only thing that was missing. It was a hit with my boyfriend, who is THE fussiest eater on earth :-) Oh - and I also added some minced garlic with the onions.
