Meat Loaf Man: Terrifyingly Tasty

Halloween is so much fun! What other holiday allows you to wear ridiculous costumes, transform your home into a haunted house, pass out candy to hundreds of kids, and make scary edible art?

Want to get your kids to eat something healthy before they head out to trick or treat?  Make them MEAT LOAF MAN!

Another D’Arcy tradition. 

It’s easy to make and guaranteed to make your dinner table fun on Halloween!

Here’s the recipe:

Meat loaf Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup tomato sauce

1 Tbsp garlic salt

2 squirts ketchup

1 olive, bell pepper, or red pepper (tiny portion for facial features)

Mac ‘n Cheese Ingredients:

1 box packaged Mac ‘n Cheese (it’s the easiest and the kids’ favorite)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the tomato sauce and bread crumbs.
  2. Add garlic salt.
  3. Grease a baking dish
  4. Make a 2” ball with the mixture to form the head and place at the top of the baking dish.
  5. Next, form the torso by taking the mixture and making an upside down 4” triangle.
  6. Then add 2 legs by rolling the mixture to make 2” logs.
  7. Now, connect the torso to the head by creating a short neck.
  8. Attach the legs to the bottom of the triangle to form the hips.
  9. Make the arms by rolling the mixture to make 2” logs.
  10. Form the arms to go up, down, or on the hip – you choose!
  11. Attach the arms at the shoulders.
  12. After all of the body parts are connected, shape Meat Loaf Man so it sort of resembles a man.
  13. Add eyes and a mouth by using a small piece of an olive, bell pepper, or red pepper.
  14. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until completely cooked.
  15. Make your kids’ favorite mac and cheese.  Set aside to keep warm.
  16. When meatloaf is done baking, drain grease and pat the baking dish to remove any remaining fat.
  17. Pour mac and cheese around Meat Loaf Man to make him stand out.
  18. Place a knife (pate knife or corn on the cob prong) in Meat Loaf Man’s heart.
  19. Squirt ketchup around the knife and down the side of the chest – ewwwww!
  20. Call the kids to enjoy their “healthy” meal before they head out to trick or treat!
