Here's a great dinner idea from the same people who brought you the original "Haunted Mansion". Nobody does it better than Disney! So before heading out with your kids for a night of trick-or-treating, put a chilling spin on some classic comfort foods. Serve our Mummy Meatloaf and a side of cheesy Swamp Creatures, and your little tricksters won't be able to stop ogling their food! (Or will it be ogling them?)
MUMMY MEATLOAF
Ingredients:
~Meatloaf from your favorite recipe (ours used about 2 pounds of meat)
~American cheese
~Olive slices
Instructions:
Make your favorite meatloaf recipe and shape the loaf to resemble a mummy's body with crossed arms. Bake the loaf until it's cooked through.
Let it rest about 3 minutes, then lay 1-inch-wide strips of American cheese across the body as shown, leaving a narrow space on the head for the olive slice eyes. Trim any overhanging cheese with scissors and return the mummy to the still-warm oven to slightly melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
SWAMP CREATURES
Ingredients:
~Macaroni and cheese
~Sautéed spinach
~Olive slices
Instructions:
Mix up a batch of macaroni and cheese, then spoon it into greased muffin cups and bake until firm, about 25 minutes.
Let the creatures rest for about 10 minutes, then gently remove them from the tins. Place them upside down on a swamp of sautéed spinach and add olive slice eyes.
