Menu

• Mummy Loaf
• Witches Fingers with Fleas
• Swampy Smashed Potatoes

First I made your Meatloaf (see Italian-Style Meatloaf in the similar and related recipes), without the sauce and after shaping it into a log (I finessed it a bit so you could see the indentations of head, arms and legs) I wrapped it with the bacon slices to make a 'Mummy Meatloaf'. On the side, I served 'Witches Fingers with Fleas', which were frozen whole green beans sautéed in a bit of butter and sesame oil and tossed in a tablespoon of toasted black sesame seeds (the fleas) at the end. And I made 'Swampy Smashed Potatoes', using your Mashed Potatoes and Garlic recipe (see the similar and related recipes). I added some finely chopped green onion, used small red potatoes instead of the white potatoes and left the skins on, then just smashed them as opposed to a good mashing, and mixed in a small bit of green food coloring.
