Recipe Thursday - Sweet & Spicy Meatloaf


My good friend Salianne sent me this recipe almost 2 months ago.  I am FINALLY getting around to trying it.  She is an awesome cook so right away I knew I must try it!

I really loved the taste of this meatloaf.  I loved how the mixture of sweet and spicy came together.  I honestly wasn't sure what I would think, but i did love it!!  Not a meatloaf I would make every time, but a MUST TRY!!  So yummy and such a good mixture of flavor!!

3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Let's Cook!
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix hamburger, bread crumbs, egg.
  3. In a medium bowl combine all remaining ingredients. Add 3/4 cup of this mixture to the meat and mix well.
  4. In an ungreased, 1 1/2 or 2 quart casserole or 9X5 inch loaf pan, shape meat mixture into a loaf.

I served mine with homemade mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and carrots and a tall glass of milk.
