Meatloaf is one thing I learned to adapt to a gluten-free lifestyle pretty quickly.  And while staying at Josh’s Grandma’s for three months, I was blessed to learn the existence of two very important meatloafs:  Pizza Meatloaf and Mexican Meatloaf.  Today, I will share with you her recipe for the former.

(It looked better in person.  I was lazy and used my phone camera rather than go all the way into the living room for my good camera.)
