I made this meatloaf for a potluck and it was a complete disaster. The meatloaf fell apart when I tried to slice it, and the flavor was bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

The pepper jack meatloaf was a huge hit at our dinner party! Everyone loved the smoky flavor of the cheese and the tangy taste of the tomatoes and green chiles. I will definitely be making this again.
