{Recipe Files}: Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf

I made this meal a few weeks ago but then I forgot to post it because you all were excited about the parmesan herb crusted salmon, that I posted that one first.

I'll admit, it's really difficult to make meatloaf look appetizing, but trust me when I say this was super tasty and very flavor-filled. If you like buffalo sauce, you'll like this recipe!

Plus, it's SUPER simple to throw together. Win-win!
