Side Dish for the Southwest Meatloaf?

In summary, a classic garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette is a recommended side dish to serve with Southwest Meatloaf, but there are versatile options such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, and coleslaw. Adding diced jalapenos or cayenne pepper can add a spicy kick to the side dish, and it can be served either hot or cold. The salad or roasted vegetables can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, but the salad should be dressed right before serving for optimal freshness.

What do you pair with your Southwest meatloaf as a side dish? I'm actually making it for my family tonight, but if I was doing a show, I'd like to know what to suggest to go WITH it.
 
Spanish rice? Mashed potatoes?

I found a rice side dish in my cupboard...not exactly Spanish Rice, but I sprinkled some SW Seasoning on it. We'll see. :) I also had some refried beans....so basically mimicking what they do in mexican restaurants when you get beans/rice on the side.*shrug*. It is what it is! It's either that or cereal! ;)
 
We make whole black beans and I season them with the SW Seasoning and I do Spanish rice. Yummy!
 
I'm sure what you made was WAY better than cereal. ;)I'd love to get a good recipe to make a homemade Spanish rice.
