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.

Hi
I live in the country,am married, and have a small son.I now have a Daughter on the Way! She will be born in late 2004. I love raising chickens,baking,canning, and working in the garden. In the summer I enter my food in the county fair. All of my food has won 1st or 2nd or best of show. My Grandma taught me how to cook. We were very close. When she passed away, I decided to write a cookbook with all of here favorite foods.
