Again, the recipe below is tried and true but if you have a different recipe for meatloaf, that’ll work too!
To create Halloween FeetLoaf, prepare your meatloaf and shape into two “feet” on a baking pan. Cut onions for toenails and ankles and then drizzle the piquant sauce (the extra red sauce for top) on top of ankles to make them look severed. It’s delightfully disgusting!! And, so yummy!
