My boyfriend doesn’t like sweets so I made him a snowman meatloaf for his birthday.
Meatloaf(Ground beef, stuffing mix, onion seasoning packet, eggs, milk), mashed potatoes(used instant since I was short on time), bacon for hat and arms, green pepper for scarf, black olives for eyes, mouth and buttons and carrot for nose.
Snowman Meatloaf Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 package stuffing mix
- 1 onion seasoning packet
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Instant mashed potatoes
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 green pepper
- Black olives (for eyes, mouth, and buttons)
- 1 carrot
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, stuffing mix, onion seasoning packet, eggs, and milk. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the meat mixture into three separate balls of decreasing size, forming a snowman shape. Place the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the instant mashed potatoes according to the package instructions.
- Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- While the meatloaf is resting, cook the bacon until crispy. Use two slices for the snowman’s hat and cut the remaining slices into thin strips for the arms.
- Cut the green pepper into thin strips to create a scarf for the snowman.
- Assemble the snowman on a serving platter. Place the largest meatloaf ball at the bottom, followed by the medium-sized one, and then the smallest one on top.
- Frost the meatloaf snowman with the prepared mashed potatoes, covering the entire surface.
- Use the bacon slices for the hat, placing them on top of the smallest meatloaf ball.
- Place the bacon strips as arms on the sides of the middle meatloaf ball.
- Create a scarf using the green pepper strips, wrapping it around the neck of the snowman.
- For the eyes, mouth, and buttons, use black olives. Cut the olives into small pieces and arrange them accordingly.
- Peel the carrot and cut it into a small cone shape for the nose. Place it in the center of the snowman’s face.
- Serve the snowman meatloaf with a smile, and enjoy the savory birthday celebration with your boyfriend!
This unique and creative snowman meatloaf is sure to bring a smile to your boyfriend’s face, even if he’s not a fan of sweets.
