garnished this with some green onions just for color but I do like onions on my chili so why not. You could even top with sour cream or more salsa if you wish. This was very moist and tasty. I forgot to mention that I used both pork and beef in this recipe because I think the Chicken or lamb gives it more flavor. Well I hope you like this little twist on your everyday meatloaf. I know my family did, so enjoy! The nutritional information for 1 piece of meatloaf is:
