so i'm not a big meatloaf person, mostly because i've never really eaten it and they make fun of it on tv all the time. i think i may have ordered it once at crackerbarrel but that's the extent of my experience. but i've been carrying around this recipe clipping in my "to make" file for like 5 years and finally got the nerve to make it and WOW it was great! i mean, i really liked it but tom loved it! he has a lot of differnt meatloafs to compare it with though, i guess. the only complaint he had was that it looks gross; kindof a pinkish, spam thing. not super appealing but really good and healthy too! i'm pretty sure i pulled this out of an oxygen magazine (serious fitness mag for those who don't know).mexican meatloaf
