After reading the reviews, I, too, made changes: Added kidney beans, taco seasoning, chili powder, can of diced green chilies, and ex'd the jalapenos. Was so easy to make, my picky 3 year old went to town on it, although picked out every speck of ground beef ("the black stuff," he says). Gotta say ... this was 10x better after it sat for a bit, and the next day. When it was steaming hot out of the oven, I found it mushy and weird. It firms up after sitting, a good thing. VERY GOOD ... the smell of it cooking and re-heating is intoxicating!

I took a chance and made this for the first time, on the reviews alone, for a new boy "friend" ... and we both loved it. It has the perfect heat/flavor combo, and was awesome served with mashed potatoes and green beans. I didn't change one thing about the recipe. Would definitely make again. My only warning -- you have to let the veggie mixture cool before finishing out the meatloaf and putting it in the oven, so you might want to plan some extra time for that.

Fantastic recipe! Everyone raved about it! As a side note, though, and this may be a no-brainer to most, but it wasn't for me, and the story gets me laughed at by friends now. Maybe the tip will help you, before you start! I assumed the anchovies would easily flake apart when I put them with the other dressing ingredients, but no such luck. I ended up having to pick them out - messy with all the mayonnaise gooped around them -- and tried to cut them up, but that didn't work either. I ended up using a blender with all dressing ingredients, and that worked like a champ. Next time, I will either use anchovy paste, or start out with the blender in the first place! =)
