MEATLOAF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I love meatloaf, and tend to make large ones to ensure that there will be leftovers (nothing is better the next day than a cold meatloaf sandwich!). But sometimes I end up with half of a 3-pound meatloaf and nobody wants sandwiches, so here's what I make to use it in a tasty, fast, and easy way... Note: there is no salt added to the recipe because the salt that's contained in the tortilla chips and meatloaf, but you'll need to judge that for yourself; this one can easily get too salty if you're not careful. :)

SOUTHWEST MEATLOAF
This is a unique meatloaf recipe. Very moist. My friend gave me this recipe and I know she got it out of a magazine but neither one of us know which one! It called for more cilantro and onions and I did cut these back. This is not a pretty meatloaf....just a great tasting one!
