Taco Meatloaf

Taco Meatloaf

Meatloaf is easily one of the most versatile dinner recipes around. You never have to serve it the same way twice. Toss in some different spices, add a new sauce or some bacon, and you have a whole different meal. My kids love tacos so I added some taco seasoning and used chia seeds for the binder instead of breadcrumbs. It was a delicious kid-friendly meal.
