Have been making my Mom's meatloaf for years, this is taking that place! Loved it, and family also. Used Italian brd. crmbs. and added chpd. onion and chpd. poblano pep. cause I needed to use it up. Put add. salsa on top with 10 mins. left. Absolutely awesome! I hope the smell never leaves my house

This recipe is fantastic! My family never liked meatloaf until I made this. Now they actually ask me to make it. Definitely a recipe to add to your collection.

This was delicious! I didn't have plain bread crumbs so I substituted using Italian flavored ones. I also used 1 and a half pounds of ground beef instead of 2 (it was all I had). Last but not least, I followed another reviewers advice and topped it with cheese and salsa for the last 5 minutes. My husband and 1 year old and I loved it!

Very easy to make. Great to make if you are looking for a different style of meatloaf.

I sprinkled some more salsa and cheese on the top for the last 10 minutes. That was the best part! Though, both my husband and my toddler loved the dish! I didn't have any fresh garlic - that probably would have helped to make it not so bland.
