Dead Man's Meatloaf

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 egg, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup minced onions
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Olives, corn kernels and pimentos (garnish)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Using clean hands, mix together all ingredients, except for the spaghetti sauce and garnishes, in a large bowl.

To form the corpse: In an ungreased baking pan, sculpt the meat mixture into a body. (Generally, bodies have a single head, torso, 2 legs and 2 arms, but yours can have as many or as few as you like.)

Using olives for eyes, corn for teeth and pimentos for a tongue, decorate your loaf. Feel free to try other vegetables, too.

Pour spaghetti sauce around the corpse and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Right before serving, stick a dagger (butter knife) into the "heart" of the corpse.
