Freezer Friendly Chipotle Meatloaf Recipe from 5DollarDinners.com

Holy Chipotle- Guacamole.

No…not Chipotle’s guacamole. (Although it is delicious.)

Holy guacamole, this Chipotle Meatloaf is outstanding. It’s hearty, super tasty and does really well in the freezer. I love freezing meatloaf because it’s super durable in the freezer.
