This meat loaf is a hit with my family. My three sons eat two pieces each, which is incredible, considering that they are very picky toddlers. This Southwest-style meat loaf is topped with a sweet and tangy sauce. -Lacey Kirsch, Thornton, Colorado

This recipe is too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasonings.
