Halloween Meatloaf

It’s your classic juicy meatloaf—just shaped like two horrifying severed feet. Packed with ground beef, onions, parsley, breadcrumbs, and a tangy splash of Worcestershire, then topped with ketchup “blood” and onion “toenails.” Perfect for Halloween when dinner should be equal parts delicious and disturbing.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 large white onion minced, with 10 thin slices reserved
  • 1 medium onion cut in half
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs about 3.5 ounces
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Meat: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder, cayenne, minced onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
    3 pounds ground beef, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 medium onion, 4 large eggs, 2 cups panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup milk, ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Shape the Feet: Divide the meat mixture into two equal parts and place them on the baking sheet. Shape each portion into a foot, pressing up to form an ankle and hollowing out the top for the “ankle bone.”
  • Add Bones and Toenails: Place one onion half, cut side up, into each ankle hollow. Cut five toe shapes at the front of each foot and press a reserved onion slice onto each toe to look like toenails.
    1 large white onion
  • Add the “Blood”: Use a basting brush to spread ketchup around the ankle area to create a bloody effect.
    ½ cup ketchup
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the meat is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Serve: Let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm for maximum spooky effect.
