Halloween Zombie Meatloaf
Description
This Halloween zombie meatloaf recipe is shaped like a skull with hard-boiled eggs as eerie eyes, garlic cloves for snaggly teeth, and a blood-red sauce.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
•
1 small onion, finely chopped
•
3/4 cup buttery round crackers, crushed
•
2/3 cup milk
•
1/2 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
•
2 eggs
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Morton® Nature's Seasons® Seasoning Blend), or to taste
•
1 hard-boiled egg, cut in half
•
1/2 cup ketchup
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons barbeque sauce (such as Stubb's®)
•
5 cloves garlic, cut into small pieces
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly grease foil.
2
Combine ground beef, onion, crackers, milk, Cheddar cheese, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt in a bowl; transfer mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Form into a skull shape, leaving holes for eye sockets and a mouth. Place hard-boiled egg halves into eye sockets, shaping meatloaf mixture around them to hold in place.
3
Combine ketchup, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce in a bowl until smooth; spread 1/2 on meatloaf, including eyes and mouth.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
5
Place garlic pieces (teeth) into the mouth. Brush remaining sauce over meatloaf or serve on the side.
