Holy guacaole, 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.

1 cup quick cooking oats

1 Tbsp ground dried chipotle

1 cup salsa

Place the meat mixture into the loaf pan and press in to fill it.

Bake at 350 degrees for 80 minutes. Remove from oven, top with salsa, and place back in the oven.

Bake for 10 more minutes or until meat reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees.

To freeze ahead, form the loaf in advance and freeze in a freezer safe/oven safe pan. Allow the frozen meatloaf to thaw in the fridge for 24 hours before baking. Add salsa to the meatloaf as directed on the recipe during baking.
