Before heading out with your kids for a night of trick-or-treating, put a chilling spin on some classic comfort foods. Serve our Mummy Meatloaf and a side of cheesy Swamp Creatures, and your little tricksters won't be able to stop ogling their food! (Or will it be ogling them?)

Ingredients

• Meatloaf from your favorite recipe (ours used about 2 pounds of meat)
• American cheese

• Olive slices

Instructions

1. Make your favorite meatloaf recipe and shape the loaf to resemble a mummy's body with crossed arms. Bake the loaf until it's cooked through.

2. Let it rest about 3 minutes, then lay 1-inch-wide strips of American cheese across the body as shown, leaving a narrow space on the head for the olive slice eyes. Trim any overhanging cheese with scissors and return the mummy to the still-warm oven to slightly melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
