I loved this recipe with it's spicy topping. My husband could not stop talking about how great is was. It is definitely a keeper. Can't wait to try it out for my friends and family.

This was fabulous! I'm not really a fan of meatloaf, however, I am a fan of Marcela. So, I decided to give it a try. Delicious!! The sauce just puts it over the top. Really moist and flavorful. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.

I'm not a meatloaf fan but I've been converted. This was sooo good. The salsa was hot but delicious and made a wonderful glaze. I can't wait to try it again.

This was great!! The salsa as way spicy. I had 2 serrano peppers. Next time I will add half of one. But the flavors in the meatloaf are on point.

Made this twice, once for family, next time for company and it was a hit both times..The salsa was very tasty but a little too hot for my taste, i tried to make it a little less hot the second time around but will try a 3rd time and try adjusting the chipotle a little more.

My disclaimer: I made the poblano potato salad last week and absolutely loved it, so I thought I would try this meatloaf today. Before I write this, I want to say that I really WANTED to like this recipe and I'm new to some of these flavors so...

It took me much longer to make this than what Marcela said. I thought the chorizo was too fatty and I didn't like the texture. I'm used to meatloaf being much denser and I guess I shouldn't compare to a traditional dish, but it bothered me.

Concerning the chilis, oh my goodness! I am not used to heat so the salsa lit me up! I knew ahead of time to be careful so I used half of the chipotles, but it still was killing me. If you are not used to the heat, then I would use even less and maybe forgo the serrano (or substitute w/jalapeno.

Again, I really wanted to like this, but it was a disappointment. :(

Great meatloaf! I deleted the mustard and brown sugar to make a fantastic salsa as well...

I used a chipotle salsa and added the sugar and mustard to save on time and ingredients. (Got the salsa for $2.50 at the store. Everything was so perfect. I never had a meatloaf like this and it will definitely be in my files! To Jill, yeah - that's a typo. I used a regular sized loaf pan. I think if you used that pan, it would be a meat cake instead of loaf! :

I already had a recipe for Mex. meatloaf and tried this one to see if this would win the prize. For my husband, he liked both equally well; for me, this one was better. I doubled the recipe (except used only 3 eggs. Other changes: I used good ground pork instead of beef, to offset the fat in the chorizo and used whole wheat crumbs--a bit healthier. Marcela mentioned to feel free adding our own spices, so I added chipotle powder, 2 tsp. to the doubled recipe, perfect. I liked the tomato sauce a lot, simple, but a little too sweet. I will cut back on the brown sugar by half next time. I used a can of fire-roasted tomatoes instead of roasting my own. The canned variety is excellent for this kind of cooking. I have a gas stovetop, so I 'roasted' the veggies on the flame, easier and faster in my opinion. I brushed the top of meatloaf with a little ketchup/brown sugar. It made the most amazing brown crust. This is easy to make, but prep takes time.I prepped and cooked the veggies the day before saving time the next day when I needed it. All in all, a very flavorful, moist meatloaf.
