I used to be completely obsessed with the show The Walking Dead which prompted me to make this Zombie Meatloaf. This was back in 2014 and now I’m not interested in the show anymore. I really lost interest when Negan came on cause I didn’t like his bat and certain characters were dying that I just loved. Does anybody still even watch this show?
Zombie meatloaves are fun to make because you can play around with certain ingredients to make it super zombie-like. Use ketchup for blood, olives or dates for eyes, onions for peeling skin, etc. Be creative with it and have some fun. Make this for Halloween or scary movie marathon night.

Oh how fun! I made a meatloaf hand once, with onions as the finger nails. A face with bacon is even better!
