On a vacation to Arizona, I fell in love with albondigas, Latin American meatballs. After playing with a number of different spices I came up with a version that's amazing as a meatloaf. -James Schend, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

This is the worst meatloaf recipe I've ever tried. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this meatloaf was dry and overcooked.

This meatloaf was a disaster. It fell apart when I tried to slice it.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This meatloaf was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use less chipotle peppers next time.

This meatloaf is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. I love that I can use ground turkey or beef.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chipotle peppers give it a nice smoky flavor.

This Mexican-style meatloaf was a hit with my family! It was flavorful, moist, and had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
