Taste - The dish was moist and had a definite smokey barbeque flavor. I think I cut the chives too big though, because I had to pick them out. Next time, I would exclude them.

4/5

Value - The dish cost me $26.43 in ingredients and split between two people made two small servings each. The dish needs a side to accompany it to be made filling unless it is just being made for one person. The value isn't terrible, but it isn't great either.

2.5/5

Originality - A twist on meatloaf, made with barbecue sauce instead of ketchup and extra seasonings. But it is still a meatloaf dish.

3/5

Presentation - There is a touch of colour and the barbecue glaze looks appetizing, but it is still a chink of meat on a plate.

2.5/5

Difficulty - The only difficult part was scrambling to get all of the other ingredients as the muffin cooked. Past that, it was really just mixing them all by hand which is pretty simple and waiting on it to cook.

3.5/5

Taste - As far as meatloaves go, this was fantastic. I loved the mild warmth of the Cayenne, the green chiles, and I used a sweet onion BBQ sauce that really complimented everything perfectly.

5/5

Appearance - Looks appealing, clean, etc.

4.5/5

Value - It’s really not all that expensive considering it makes enough to feed a family of 5. The meat is the only real expense; I literally had everything else already on-hand.

4.5/5

Difficulty - Very easy to make, even if you have to actually make the corn muffin (which I did).

4.5/5

Originality - Well, it’s a meatloaf, so it loses some ground there, but I think it uses some interesting ingredients that I’d never though of in relation to meatloaf, and the overall combination of those ingredients makes it unique.

3/5
