Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf is everything. I mean it. If you are ever in a hurry and need something extraordinary to make, let this be it. It is your favourite buffalo, Cheez-it, perfect-ness all baked up like a meatloaf. Only it’s a chicken loaf. Can I still call it a meatloaf even though it is chicken?
I bet you never knew Cheez-its and hot sauce went too well together. Until now, now you know. This meatloaf has all the components of your favourite buffalo wings, all baked up together. It starts with ground chicken. Next, add sautéed onions and garlic, crunchy chopped celery, and an abundance of Cheez-its and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Then throw in a little cheddar and egg to hold it together. Finally, pack the Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf into a casserole dish and start on the sauce.
