Quick and Easy Mexican Meatloaf Recipe

This is a great twist on a yummy favorite for those who like just a bit of “kick”. It’s what I call Mexican Meatloaf,  aka Mighty Meatloaf because it is mighty good and mighty big.

It’s also quick, easy and cheap … especially when you factor in the huge group you can feed off this monster 3 pounder.

You can certainly adjust the size down to a reasonable portion, but I just love the leftovers — hot meatloaf, cold meatloaf, and meatloaf sandwiches.

You can also adjust the “kick” too, by adding more jalapeno peppers or taking away the jalapeno peppers and replacing them with green peppers. Everyone I’ve made it for likes it just as the recipe below states.
