The secret to making mouthwatering meatloaf in a jiffy is to make it in smaller portions that cook faster. Here we take conventional meatloaf and give it a bit of a Southwestern twist with the addition of seasoning, cheese and avocado. Top with your favorite sugar-free salsa for even MORE flavor!
Happy Cooking!
