Individual Chili Meatloaf

Here's another meatloaf recipe. This one comes from Weight Watchers Weekly from the week of March 14, 2010 with a spicy twist.



Our Mexican version of a comfort food classic is made in mini loaf pans for easy portion control. It's full of spices, topped with scallions and sour cream.
