Notes

Crush Doritos into fairly small pieces to make mixing easier
Shape meatloaves equal sizes so they cook evenly
Use a digital meat thermometer inserted in the center of meatloaves to ensure internal temperature reads 160ºF
Meatloaves can be topped with salsa and cheese at the beginning of baking time OR part way through baking time to prevent cheese from burning
Meatloaves freeze well in an airtight container or freezer bag
We made 7 mini meat loaves and they reached 160 degrees internal temp in 30 minutes.
