TACO MEATLOAF
I like meatloaf, my DH likes tacos. We both LOVED this recipe! Found in TOH "Comfort Foods Book **Updated to add -- I have done a few revisions on this recipe to include a different pan size for the "boil over" issue. I have also found that if turkey and beef are combined it is a bit drier, you can use all turkey or all beef it is really up to you.
