ZOMBIE MEATLOAF RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease the foil.
• Mix ground beef, onion, crackers, milk, Cheddar cheese, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt together in a bowl. Transfer beef mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form into a skull-shape, leaving holes for "eye sockets" and a "mouth". Place hard boiled egg halves into the "eye sockets", shaping the beef mixture around them to hold in place.
• Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and barbeque sauce together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Spread 1/2 of the sauce onto the entire beef mixture, including the "eyes" and "mouth".
• Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 to 60. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Arrange the garlic pieces in the mouth for the "teeth". Brush the remaining sauce over the meatloaf or serve on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the panko, half of the parmesan cheese, and the milk. Soak for about ten minutes, or until the panko is soggy and the milk has been absorbed. Stir in the garlic and chopped onion.
• Add the ground beef to the panko mix along with 1/4 cup of ketchup, two tablespoons sriracha, one teaspoon dry mustard, one tablespoon brown sugar and one egg. Use your hands to combine until the panko mix can no longer be distinguished.
• Form the meatloaf into your desired spooky shapes. To make the skull, create an tapered oval shape and pinch in the bottom half. Add onions for teeth. Press divots into the skull where eyes should be and add two mozzarella balls. Wrap the skull in half strips of bacon.
• To make the hand: form a ball and flatten it to the size of your palm. Take five smaller balls of meat and roll into finger length. Use onions as finger nails. Wrap the hand and fingers in strips of bacon.
• To make the brain: use a Jell-O brain shaped mold and press the meat into an even layer on every side, leaving the center open. Place several mozzarella balls, fresh parsley and chopped onion into the center and cover with meat. Pinch the edges closed then tip out of the brain shaped mold.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, sriracha and brown sugar until smooth. Spread half of the sauce onto each meatloaf.
• Arrange the meatloaves onto a pan lined with foil and greased with cooking spray. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and the sauce has darkened in color.
• While the meatloaves are baking, start making the noodles. In a large bowl, add two cups of flour and make a divot in the center. Crack in the eggs. Add the parsley and green food coloring. Whisk until the eggs and food coloring have combined and has started to lump up.
• Use your hands to continue to work with the noodle dough. It will be really sticky at first. Knead until the stickiness has reduced then tip the dough out onto a floured surface. Dust the dough with flour and continue to knead until the dough is smooth on the outside.
• Bring a pot of salted water to an 'almost-boil'. Dust a large surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to beat any remaining air out of the noodle dough. Roll the dough out into a large sheet, as thin as you can possibly get it without tearing. Use a pizza cutter to cut thin noodles OR dust with flour and roll into a log, then cut into noodles. Grasp the end to unfurl the noodles then dust again with flour. Set aside until ready to cook.
• Remove the meatloaves from the oven. Replace the mozzarella eyes in the skull if they are too melted. Spread the remaining ketchup sauce onto the meatloaves and place them back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
• During the last few minutes of baking the meatloaves, add the noodles to an almost-boiling pot of water. Stir constantly to keep separated. Cook for two minutes or until tender. Drain but do not rinse.
• Arrange the noodles on a plate and place the spooky shaped meatloaves on top. Serve hot at your next Halloween party, and enjoy!
