Hey Y'all

For those of you who regularly follow me, I am always on the lookout for recipes that are quick and easy. As much as I love to cook, there are days when I am lured out of the kitchen to pursue other interests. So for all my readers who like me, want to take a break from spending hours preparing a good meal... this recipe's for you! Also it's perfect for all you hard working moms and dads, who are looking for something a little different. It's a twist on traditional meat loaf with a southwestern flair. Serve it along side a fresh salad and some black beans and you'll have a meal that is simple and delicious! Hope you all enjoy!
