How to Make April Fools Day Meatloaf Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, mash potatoes until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of beet juice (or food coloring) until desired pink color is achieved.
- Spread the pink mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the meatloaf, creating a 'frosting' effect.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the potatoes are lightly browned.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the confused yet delicious reactions!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
