BBQ Salsa Meatloaf is a tangy, slightly spicy meatloaf that kicks up Mom’s meatloaf with some favorite flavors. Comfort food never tasted so good.
When the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, I crave comfort food. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is a perfect comfort food dinner, especially on a fall or winter night.
While I love traditional meatloaf recipes like my Brown Sugar Meatloaf, this one adds an extra zesty kick with the salsa.
When I was a kid my Dad would make meatloaf for all of us. My parents split the cooking. Whenever we had meatloaf, it was always my Dad that made it. His version included crushed saltine crackers. I don’t know what else he put in it because he usually scooted all of us kids out of the kitchen so he could finish dinner.
However, I think my Dad would approve of this BBQ Salsa Meatloaf with a mixture of ground beef and italian sausage, barbecue sauce, worcestershire, dry mustard, pico de gallo salsa, and hot sauce (if you like).

This looks a really lovely texture. I haven’t actually had meatloaf before as it’s not something my mum ever made for us at home when I was growing up but it is something I’m thinking of trying one day!
