Chipotle is smoked ripe jalapeños, not their own little pepper. (You learn something new everyday!) It's a versatile pepper, bringing a smoky, earthy yumminess to whatever thing they touch, including the creamy cheese sauce here. The sauce covers the meatloaves with amazing goodness you'll be shocked you made yourself. Learn (and taste) something new here.
