    Feetloaf

Ingrediets:

  • 2 lbs. Ground beef
  • 1 Carrot, grated
  • 1 C. Kale, chopped
  • 1 Eggplant, diced 
  • 1 Onion (2 sliced rings for “exposed bone” saved on the side, the rest chopped)
  • ¼ C. Green onion, chopped
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 C. BBQ sauce
  • ½ C. Poi
  • 2 C. Breadcrumbs, make your own or store-bought
  • 1 ½ tsp. Pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp Garlic powder or 4 fresh garlic, minced

Decorations

  • Almonds or onion pieces for toenails
  • Ketchup, for blood
  • 1 White onion, sliced into thick rings for the exposed bones (yikes!)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Make your own breadcrumbs (great way to use those butt ends)! Toast 4 thick slices of bread until dark brown and extra crispy. Let them cool and either crush in a plastic bag or crunch up in a bowl into small flaky pieces.
  3. Chop all of your vegetables into small bite-sized pieces and mix everything except for the ketchup and toenail decorations together in a very large mixing bowl.
  4. Split your meat mixture into two equal parts and place onto a lined baking sheet.
  5. Shape the meat into long ovals for the feet then bring up one end to create “ankles”.
  6. Hollow out the ankles and add the onion rings as the exposed bone. Squirt ketchup (blood) around the edges of the ankle.
  7. Using a knife, cut lines where your toes will be and use your hands to round out the toes. Use almonds or onion slices to create toenails.
  8. Cover feetloaf loosely with tin foil to prevent burning and drying out your loaf.
  9. Bake for 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  10. Serve your bloody severed meat feet while hot and oozy!
