October is here and Halloween is coming soon. If you have kids or grand kids, they may get a kick out of this meat loaf.
Dead Man's Meatloaf 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 egg, beaten 1 cup bread crumbs 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup minced onions 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce Olives, corn kernels and pimentos (garnish) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Using clean hands, mix together all ingredients, except for the spaghetti sauce and garnishes, in a large bowl. To form the corpse: In an ungreased baking pan, sculpt the meat mixture into a body. (Generally, bodies have a single head, torso, 2 legs and 2 arms, but yours can have as many or as few as you like.) Using olives for eyes, corn for teeth and pimentos for a tongue, decorate your loaf. Feel free to try other vegetables, too. Pour spaghetti sauce around the corpse and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Right before serving, stick a dagger (butter knife) into the "heart" of the corpse. You can use your favorite meatloaf recipe but the sauce around it really does finish the dead man's look off. My grand boys loved it. This is one of those things that if it looks weird it just adds to the halloween theme! _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
