Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds lean ground beef
3 cups Italian bread crumbs
4 eggs
1 large onion, chopped
¼ cup spaghetti sauce
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
¼ cup spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
3 drops orange food coloring, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine beef, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, spaghetti sauce, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt in a large bowl. Push mixture down into the bottom of the bowl and smooth the top. Flip bowl over into a large cake pan with sides to hold drippings. Use fingers to mold a stem shape at the top and make a happy or scary pumpkin face in the meat.
  • Combine spaghetti sauce and orange food coloring in a small bowl. Paint the meat loaf surface with the sauce mixture and sprinkle Italian seasoning on the stem.
