This is a recipe that I went out on a limb and tried for the first time with some friends over. It was a huge hit. My kids even enjoyed it. This is definitely not the crunchy meatloaf you remember from bad potluck dinners as a kid! The jerk spice was a little hard to find, but our local Whole Foods had a great Hot Jerk Spice paste that worked perfectly.
