Mexican Meatloaf

Mexican Meatloaf

I love to take a classic meal and give it a slight twist! And since Mexican food is one of my favorites I decided to give plain old meatloaf some south of the border flair! I even topped it with a Mexican style gravy that I call Mexican Pink Sauce. You can make this recipe as spicy as you want by using a spicier style salsa and taco sauce. Serve this meatloaf with mashed potatoes and a salad and dinner is done!
