Step-by-Step Instructions for Monster Meatloaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, Italian breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, diced onion, and spices like garlic and onion powder. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Transfer the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and shape it into a monstrous figure.
  4. Place your shaped Monster Meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. While the meatloaf bakes, steam your carrots until they are tender yet firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Cut red bell pepper into strips for a monstrous mouth and prepare stuffed olives as eyes.
  7. Once the meatloaf reaches 160°F, carefully remove it and arrange the steamed carrots as legs, add mushrooms for eyes, and place olives for decoration.
  8. Serve your delightful Monster Meatloaf at the table and enjoy!
