Surprisingly delicious! It is such a simple recipe but this is just THE perfect combination of ingredients. Definitely a keeper - loved by my husband AND 18 month old! I used ground turkey and spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top after 45 min of cooking. I also omitted the creole seasoning (didn't have on hand) and minced garlic (simply fogot to add it, but will next time) and it tasted amazing. Thank you, thank you!

I really enjoyed this. It is not a traditional meatloaf. It is more of a Mexican meatloaf. It is a little bit spicy, which I love. I used "hot" salsa, so mine had some kick. Next time I will use Monterrey Jack or a Mexican blend for the cheese instead of Mozzarella and see how that tastes. Thanks for posting! I made this for Everyday is a Holiday tag!
