Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Dinner
*printable recipe card is available at the bottom of this page
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare breadcrumbs: Combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl and set aside to let it soak.
- Mix the meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce. Add in the soaked breadcrumbs and mix until everything is well combined.
4. Shape into a foot: On a lined baking sheet, shape the meat mixture into the shape of a foot. Make sure to carve out toes for that spooky look!
5. Add “toenails”: Cut the white onion into small toenail-shaped pieces and press them into the ends of the toes.
6. Top with ketchup mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Spread half of the mixture over the meatloaf.
7. Bake covered for 40 minutes.
8. Uncover and finish: After 40 minutes, remove the cover, spread the remaining ketchup mixture, and bake uncovered for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C).
Pro Tip: Cooking time will depend on the size of your “foot,” so using a meat thermometer is always a good idea!
