Excellent Meat Loaf With Chickpeas!! I like chickpeas very much. Nicely seasoned, delicious!! Because it was hard for a daughter to be hot, I omitted chili sauce of the last source and did it in ketchup and grain mustard. I was able to largely shorten it at time by baking it small. These were super yummy! Thanks for posting.
