This was actually my first meatloaf and my boys loved it. I did substitute a pack of mushroom gravy mix for the taco seasoning and left out the green peppers. It was very greasy, so i have bought a draining meatloaf pan for future use. Definitely will make this again. The cheese is what makes it a hit.

I am an Australian who has never eaten meatloaf in her life and I made this for my American husband...who gave it the thumbs up! Didn't have green peppers so I used red instead. I practically pureed the vegies before frying, heaven forbid my fussy 3 year old could see any hint of vegies in her meatloaf. My 11 month old son devoured it nicely. Tips for next time: replacing the taco mix for beef gravy packet mix worked well, needs a little salt and pepper, husband suggests coating the top surface with tomato paste/puree before baking or serving with a gravy to mop up his side of mashed taters! Will make again! Yay!

This was pretty tasty. But I prefer the Italian meatloaf in W&S: Food Made Fast: Simple Suppers

I was looking for something to do with a pound of hamburger and happened upon this recipe. I made it exactly as listed and got rave reviews from my family. The extra zip from the (low sodium) packet of taco seasoning was just perfect for my gang. I already have requests to make it again.

I made with the mushroom gravy as well and it was a huge hit. Definatley making again and will try with taco seasoning.

I made this recipe with ground turkey, left out the butter and cheese. It was ok, but I'm sure it tastes better as written. I never would have thought to use taco seasoning... so thank you.

instead of taco mix i used meatloaf seasoning. i used purple onions and added italian seasoning as well. it was so good. very moist and flavorful.

Excellent recipe. One of the tastiest meat loafs I've ever made!! I didn't make any changes to the recipe and my whole family loved it. You have to like onions and green peppers to enoy it, but we do so that was fine!!! YUMMY!!!

It was alright. Nothing special. I did use 2 eggs to hold it together better, and topped with some more cheese.

Excellent. I used half the Taco mix and substituted fresh cilantro for the green pepper and lean ground turkey instead of the ground beef.

Loved this meatloaf! Used half pouch of seasoning as reccomended and it made it so it could be tasted, but not overbearing. Also added two eggs into the mix and some medium salsa. Also covered the top with salsa before baking. Held together nicely. Did come out super greasy, but placed it on a seving dish shortly after pulling ot from the oven, so it wasn't too bad. Kids loved it, boyfriend loved it. Not much left in the way of leftovers. Making again soon.

Overall, the recipe was pretty good. It would have been better had I put half a packet of taco seasoning in instead of the whole packet. The whole packet was kind of overwhelming for the amount of meat in there.

This meatloaf is great. Beats my mom's meatloaf hands down - no offense mom! I've altered this recipe a bit. I use breadcrumbs instead of the crackers and add in 1/2 cup salsa, 1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. This is an awesome tex-mex style meatloaf, very unique! Thanks!

My family loves this recipe! I always hated meatloaf until now - thanks!!!

In my opinion this is a great recipe for meatloaf, I added 1TBLSP of Worcestershire sauce and then when it was almost done I cut cheese slices into triangles and topped it and put it back into the oven. They all loved it, I couldn't even put some in the freezer the ate it all up.

Hubby and I liked this recipe a lot. I only added a dash of the taco seasoning though as I didn't want it to overwhelm the other flavors. It was delicious. I don't usually like meatloaf, but I'll enjoy this again!
