These tasty Halloween-worthy meaty monsters will delight your little ghouls, and in truth I'll divulge that the Daddy Ghoul enjoyed them most. Be warned: while making these bad boys you will be unable to withhold maniacal laughter and the occasional outburst of "It's Alive"!
- 2 lbs. lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup instant oatmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. salt
Glaze:
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 3 Tbs. brown sugar
Face decorations:
- carrots- for the hair
- mozzarella cheese stick- slice off circle shapes for the whites of the eyes
- olives- black part of the eyes
- potato- cut into little squares for the teeth
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl mix meatloaf ingredients together with your hands. Divide meat mixture into 8 servings and shape into individual loaves. Place on a greased baking pan.
In a small bowl whisk together ketchup and brown sugar. Brush tops and sides of meat loaves, using all the glaze. Use your fingers to make the facial indentations; eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. I always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer- 170 degrees is well done. Remove from the oven and immediately decorate your creations.
