Southwest meatloaf

Meatloaf is a classic American meal. We decided to take this classic and jazz it up a bit! Spicy salsa, fresh chopped vegetables and lots of southwest flavors are mixed in to create the perfect flavor. After all that, we even topped it with a little Mexican blend cheese and some spicy jalapeños. If you want even more flavor you can top it with some salsa. If you're looking to spice things up, this is the dish for you!
