Ever since I was 11 years old and my twelve-week-old kitten did a battle to the death with a rat of equal size in our living room (spoiler alert- the kitten won, but it was loud, long, and involved much screaming), I have had a hatred of rats.
if you too despise these rodents from Hell, get your revenge by serving up this rat loaf.
Full disclosure: No rats were harmed in the making of this meal.
Like the meatloaf idea but can't get past the rats? I get it.
How about trying this Mummy meatloaf instead?
As an accompaniment, whip up these super cute mummy hotdogs: perfect for a Halloween dinner.
