This was a great idea and simple recipe especially since I'm not a big meatloaf maker. I followed the recipe exactly but included some minced garlic and scallions I still had. The ritz crackers I got happened to be the Italian seasoning one and oh wow I think it really enhanced the flavor of the dish! I thought the sauce was a little sweet so would in the future omit or reduce the amount of brown sugar. I don't understand why I would leave some on the side though because the brown sugar was still crystallized and crunchy so I made another side batch without the sugar at all and it was tasty. The cooked sauce melted the sugar so no issues there. Regarding the garlic teeth- I inadvertently turned them green!! Became an incredible effect and perfect considering it's a zombie! I had cooked the meatloaf the night prior then added the fresh cut garlic pieces as teeth. I left it overnight since it was for a potluck at work and the next day the garlic teeth were green! I freaked out at first thinking it was mold but it wasn't- the vinegar from the ketchup that touched the garlic caused some sort of reaction to turn it green! It's the sulfur or whatever that does this and it's still totally edible. Perfect perfect for this dish! Thanks for the idea and simple recipe.

I know it is not Halloween yet but I love Halloween and begging Oct. 1st the decorations come out and at least 3 times a week I make a "scary" Halloween meal. With that said I wanted to practice how well this would turn out so I made it yesterday. Making the zombie was surprisingly easy. I did however use my own meatloaf recipe! Thank you for the awesome idea!
This turned out perfect!! The taste of the meatloaf was phenomenal! Whenever I make meatloaf I always use a new recipe since I haven't found "the one". This is it! The only difference is that I added some garlic to it but made it exactly otherwise! It was super easy to shape the zombie watching the video. Thanks! We loved it and it brought many smiles and giggles!
This was such a fun halloween recipe to make!
Made a really fun (and teenager-approved) Halloween dinner!
I haven't actually made this but the idea is awesome! My son is constantly playing zombies on Black Ops 2. Going to use this idea for his birthday here at home. Thanks a bunch:)
Tasted so good. Enjoyed to made the zombie s skull. My children love them.
This was so easy to make. Used almond slices for teeth. And used cocktail weenies in BBQ Sauce for "brains" that spilt out. Was over all amazing.
My 3 yr old son loved this! It's an inexpensive practical and fun way the family can spend time enjoying Halloween! I substitued rice for the crackers since my kiddo has celiacs! Also I didn't have cloves so used olives!
