In the spirit of Halloween, I made "Bloody Baked Rats" from Allrecipes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Halloween-Bloody-Baked-Rats/Detail.aspx. And OMG!!! Let me just say they were horribly fabulous!!!
I did use my own meatloaf recipe for the "rats" but used these instructions as a guide for presentation.
Here are the alterations I made to the recipe in the above link:
* Pecan pieces for ears.
* Raisin pieces for eyes.
* Thin asparagus spears for the tails.
* Only made half the amount of "blood" sauce called for in the recipe and that was more than enough.
Everyone agreed this was a fun idea for a Halloween themed dinner!
The cheese "guts" inside were an unexpected surprise. Hubby suggested adding a few strands of cooked spaghetti to the cheese for the "intestines".
Happy Halloween Everyone!

I love the rats. They are so cute! My husband would get a kick out these.
ReplyDeleteThat is gross and VERY clever all at the same time! I am going to have to try this next year.
