Very tasty! I don't like ketchup on my meatloaf, but liked the chili sauce, and will use that from now on. I took the chef%u2019s suggestion of doing this as a regular meatloaf instead of burgers. Always on the look out for new meatloaf variations, and this is a keeper. -
This is a super tasty recipe! I do think I will reduce the amount of chili sauce in the mix just a little bit next time as they didn't hold together very well after cooking (maybe 1/3 instead of 1/2 cup?). Otherwise, I loved them! I was concerned the cook time wouldn't be long enough but I did 10 minutes after adding the extra sauce on top and it was perfect. Instead of tortillas and jalapenos, I served with recipe #312509 on the side. Thanks for sharing! -
I was about to post this out of my Everyday Food magazine, but you saved me the time, thanks! This looks yummy, plus my kids love anything involving meatloaf.

I have taught myself how to cook since college and my advice about cooking is to keep practicing, try all sorts of cookbooks and different recipes, and don't be afraid to fail--you'll always learn something from it (of course, I'm a teacher so it makes sense that I believe that). I moved to Dallas 3 years ago and I love the ready availability of genuine Mexican food in the area. It's the one kind of cuisine I've never tried to make myself because the restaurants in my area are so good. I love movies, music from the 70's and 80's, animals, and beautiful weather.
