Mexican Coffee Meatloaf

Mexican Coffee Meatloaf

By: Nancy - Las Vegas, NV - Recipe Contest 2015

"I usually make Mexican Empanadas with this recipe, but I tweaked the recipe a bit to make a meatloaf instead, by adding coffee, pine nuts instead of raisins, and allspice instead of cinnamon,
So delicious!"



This is a fan-submitted recipe. It was not made in the kitchen of the Door County Coffee Cafe.
