Note

If you don’t feel like turning your meatloaf into burgers the next day, you can always freeze it in individual slices. Great to have on hand for a quick meal.

If desired, add Tabasco sauce to the meatloaf mixture.

Really nice and juicy but way too spicy... However 1 TBSP of chili was way to much for my taste bud. Will make again but will definitely reducing the chili.

Extremely dry and tasteless

Excellent! You MUST try this! It is amazingly good, especially since I a) do not generally like meatloaf, and b) do not care for the taste of chili powder. However, I was so pleased to find that the flavours here all worked together perfectly, and the meatloaf was truly delicious! I will definitely make this again (and again!). Roasted mushrooms and a glass of good Malbec complimented this dish very well!!

Tender, juicy, succulent melt in your mouth meatloaf! I followed the recipe to a tee and thought maybe next time to add some onion and/or carrot, but on second thought, why bother when it was so darn good just the way it is! Went nicely with a certain Monastrell - Jumilla red wine.

This was delicious! I added some diced onions, diced red peppers, fresh garlic, and thyme. Best meatloaf I've ever made!

This meatloaf is a winner. I used breadcrumbs instead of saltines but it was delicious anyway. I froze the leftovers in slices as we are only two, and warmed it up on the griddle for another meal.
