Chipotle Meat Loaf
Chipotle Meat Loaf recipe
Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2005
So, it just tasted like spicy meatloaf. Meh. I didn’t like the chili sauce in the glaze. I would have thought salsa with some ketchup to thicken it, but no. It was tomato sauce with chili sauce added. I really didn’t think it added to the taste of the meatloaf.
I agree with the oregano, but in a Tex-Mex style dish, I wouldn’t have though to add basil and now I know why. It just doesn’t belong. For a Tex-Mex style meatloaf, I would probably add some corn or maybe some black beans along with the chipotles. Maybe I’ll concoct my own spicy, Tex-Mex style meatloaf. We will not be making this again.
