Zesty Meatloaf

Submitted by Kristy D.

"I got this recipe from a magazine quite a few years ago. This is a really different meatloaf that packs a lot of flavor. You can kick up the heat by adding more jalapenos, whatever suits your taste. This meatloaf does not have a sauce on top, just because that's the way I like it!!! This makes 2 loaves, and it freezes very well."

With the addition of pork in this recipe, it was not as dense as your normal meatloaf. I'll add some seeds next time for a zesty kick to my meatloaf. Made this into 4 mini loaves, baked in a stoneware pan, at 375 for 60 minutes. Thanks for posting. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011
