Spooky Halfling-Themed Meatloaf

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef, sausage, onion, saltine cracker crumbs, beaten eggs, and cajun seasoning until well combined. In a large baking dish, shape the meat loaf mixture into a Halfling with a large head, 2 stubby legs, and 2 raised arms.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is no longer pink inside and just beginning to brown, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (70 degrees C).

4. 4

   For the meatloaf's head, choose about 14 corn kernels and arrange them as teeth. Place 1 small green pepper slice on each side of the head for ears; set two pickle slices on the face for eyes, then place 2 black olive halves, cut sides down, on the pickle slices to finish the eyes. Use one more olive half for the nose. Surround the monster with a background of ketchup "blood," and bake until browned, about 10 more minutes.

5. 5

   Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before serving. Just before serving, stick a paring knife into the meatloaf's body, and add a little ketchup blood for decoration.
