Meatloaf Hand

In honor of Halloween, I'm posting this fantastically scary recipe for a greusome meatloaf hand. This appendage's final resting place will be upon a layer of mashed potatoes. Well, actually, it'll be in my tummy because it's so totally good! You can actually use any ol' meatloaf recipe, but here's mine:

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground turkey
1 can Rotel tomatoes and peppers
1/2 C chopped onions
2 T minced garlic (or to taste), plus whole cloves for fingernails
1/2 C Gluten free oats 
1/4 C Ketchup
1 egg
1 T Worcestershire Sauce (yes I had to google that spelling) 
Salt and pepper to taste 

Optional: Top with your choice of cheese (i used grated cheddar) about 10 minutes before it finishes baking, just to melt it. You can also "baste" the hand with ketchup during/after the baking, as we have done. I think it just makes it looks creepier.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º. Mix all ingredients togethr in a large bowl, except the whole garlic cloves—you'll need those for the fingernails. Shape mixture in to a hand shape, as shown. Press a raw garlic clove onto the end of each finger, for gross but delicious tasting fingernails.

I also pressed another garlic clove in to the wrist part, to look like sort of the bone marrow part.

Bake for about 30–40 minutes, then (carefully) place it on a bed of mashed potatoes! Voila'!

My adorable sister-in-law had just gotten engaged and thought it would be funny to place the ring on the meatloaf hand. It was hilarious!

We really enoyed this! Hope you do, too!
