Time 1h30m

Yield 6 mini meatloaf "rats", 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet meatloaf seasoning mix
1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
3 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ounce uncooked spaghetti, broken into fourths
1/2 carrot, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon frozen green pea

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs, and meatloaf seasoning. Use your hands to mix until well blended. Measure out 1/3 cupfuls of the meat mixture and mold around a cube o cheese like a meatball. Shape into a poin at one end and lengthen the body a bit by rolling between your hands. Place your "rat" into a shallow baking dish, and continue with the remaining meat. Insert pieces of uncooked spaghetti into the rounded end of the rats to make the tails.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the rats in the dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 45 minute in the preheated oven. Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce to glaze the rats.
  • While the rats finish baking, heat the peas and carrots in a small bowl in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
  • Carefully transfer the rats to a serving platter so that their delicat tails don't fall off. Press peas into the pointy end to make eyes and insert carrot slices t make ears. Spoon some of the tomato sauce around them and serve.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rats turned out a little dry. They still tasted good, but they weren't as moist as I hoped.

These were a great way to use up some leftover Halloween candy. I had a bunch of leftover Reese's Pieces and they were perfect for the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, so I made these with vanilla pudding instead. They were still really good and they were a hit with my friends.

I was hesitant to try these because I'm not a big fan of rats, but they were actually really good! The chocolate filling was rich and decadent, and the pretzel sticks added a nice crunch.
