  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 2 cups chunky tomato pasta sauce
  • Green olive slices, sweet peas (heated), sliced ripe olives, shoestring potato pieces, sliced almonds and curly fries

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix beef, sausage, bread crumbs, onion, milk, salt, cream cheese and egg. Divide into 6 equal portions; shape into 4-inch oval loaves. Pinch 1 end of each oval to a point for rat’s face. Place in ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Gently pour pasta sauce over and around loaves.
  • 2
    Bake about 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads 160°F.
  • 3
    Garnish with green olives and peas for eyes, sliced ripe olive for a nose, shoestring potato pieces for whiskers, sliced almonds for teeth and curly fries for tails.

  • If you don't have Italian sausage, use ground beef, and add Italian seasoning to the meat mixture.
  • In place of the shoestring potatoes, use pieces of broken spaghetti noodles for the whiskers. Make sure they are covered by the sauce so they don't dry out during baking.
