Hatch Chile Meatloaf

Hatch Chile Meatloaf

This is one of the best meatloaf recipes I make!  At the end of August, several of our local grocery stores sell the Hatch Chiles from New Mexico and many of them roast them for you.  If you can find these, simply cut off the stem, use your knife to peel off the skin and chop for your recipes.  If you like it spicy, use the hot chilies, if not, choose the mild.  Serve with mashed potatoes.
