Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 50 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 10 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease the foil.
• mix ground beef, onion, crackers, milk, cheddar cheese, eggs, worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt together in a bowl. transfer beef mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form into a skull-shape, leaving holes for "eye sockets" and a "mouth". place hard boiled egg halves into the "eye sockets", shaping the beef mixture around them to hold in place.
• mix ketchup, brown sugar, and barbeque sauce together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. spread 1/2 of the sauce the entire beef mixture, including the "eyes" and "mouth".
• bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 to 60. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees f (70 degrees c).
• arrange the garlic pieces in the mouth for the "teeth". brush the remaining sauce over the meatloaf or serve on the side.
