I made this meatloaf for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! The flavors are so well-balanced and the cornbread stuffing is a nice change from the traditional breadcrumb stuffing.

This is the best meatloaf I've ever had! The combination of ground beef, pork, and chorizo is perfect, and the cornbread stuffing is a genius addition. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I was disappointed with this meatloaf. It was dry and lacked flavor. I think I'll stick to my old meatloaf recipe.

This meatloaf was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo or omit it altogether.

I love this recipe! The meatloaf is always moist and flavorful, and the cornbread stuffing is a great addition. I've also tried making it with different types of meat, such as ground chicken or turkey, and it's always turned out great.

This meatloaf was easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of ground beef and ground turkey, and it was still very moist and flavorful. The cornbread stuffing was a nice touch, and I think it would also be good with a mashed potato top
