A gruesomely delicious meatloaf shaped like severed feet, complete with leek “bones,” cashew toenails, and a bloody glaze. Perfect for a creepy Halloween dinner! 👻
Feetloaf 🦶
4 lbs Extra lean ground beef, excess liquid patted dry with paper towels
1½ cups Italian breadcrumbs
1½ cups milk
1 onion, finely diced and sautéed
2 eggs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 large leeks, bottom white/light green portions only
10 roasted cashews
Bloody Glaze 🩸
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp garlic salt
1. Prepare the breadcrumbs 🥛
Combine the Italian breadcrumbs and milk. Stir together and set aside to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
2. Sauté the onion 🧅
Finely dice the onion and sauté until softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Make the meatloaf mixture 🥩
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumb mixture, sautéed onion, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until evenly combined.
4. Create the bones 🦴
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange the two leeks on the pan to act as the exposed “bones” of each severed foot.
5. Shape the feet 🦶
Divide the meatloaf mixture in half and form each portion around a leek, leaving part of the leek exposed as the bone. Shape each portion into a foot, then use a knife to separate and define five toes.
6. Add the toenails 😈
Press one roasted cashew into the end of each toe to create creepy toenails.
7. Protect the bones 🦴
Lightly spray the exposed leeks with cooking oil and cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from burning.
8. Bake 🔥
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
9. Make the bloody glaze 🩸
While the feetloaf bakes, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic salt. Mix until smooth.
10. Glaze the feet 🩸
Remove the feetloaf from the oven. Generously brush with the glaze, making sure to get between and around the toesand around the base of the exposed leek bones.
11. Finish baking 🔥
Cover the exposed leeks again with foil and return to the oven for approximately 25 more minutes, or until the center reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F for ground beef. The temperature may continue to rise slightly while resting.
12. Make it gruesome 🩸🦴
Allow the feetloaf to rest before carefully transferring it to a serving platter. Pipe additional glaze or ketchup around the exposed “bones” for an extra-bloody severed-foot effect.
