Halloween Zombie Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Process the parsley with the garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Coarsely process the celery, carrots and onion individually and place in a large mixing bowl.

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the celery/onion mixture and saute until soft and onions are translucent. Remove from heat and let cool.

Combine the remaining ingredients except the ketchup in the large mixing bowl; adding the parsley and garlic with the breadcrumbs. Add the cooled vegetables.

Shape the meatloaf into a Zombie on a large baking sheet or pan with low sides; placing a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom helps for easy clean up. Lightly grease the surface before adding the meatloaf.

Apply ketchup decoratively before baking.

Bake at 350 degrees F oven for 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let cool before decorating.

Decorate the Zombie with any of these materials: ketchup mustard fresh parsley red, orange, and/or yellow bell peppers other decorative foods like slivered blanched almonds, olives, cherry tomatoes, etc.
