I know you all were eagerly awaiting this thread again this year to celebrate that magnificent rodent.

Every family has those little strange family traditions. Well, today is the day we celebrate ours.

Ever since I was a kid, we would celebrate groundhog day over dinner with a groundhog shaped meatloaf.

It is a tradition that I have since carried into adulthood.

Here are the last few years groundhogs:

The ground hog of 2014 fell Superbowl Sunday, so we had a Manning themed meatloaf.




The groundhog of 2015 was a pirate. Please notice the meat hook hand and peg leg.



The 2016 groundhog was Mardi gras themed. Notice the groundhog boobies, beads, and hand grenade.



In 2017, my wife was pregnant so the loaf became a baby. Please note the mushroom umbilical stub, pepperoni diaper rash, and bell pepper rattle.



Just as last year, I will update this later with tonight's groundhog. I got an electric smoker for christmas, so i am planning a bacon wrapped "mummy-hog" smoked meatloaf.

This tradition has quickly turned this holiday into one of my wife's favorites to celebrate. She even marks it on our kitchen calendar as "Holiday of the Gods!"

Happy Groundhog day everyone!

Update:

Here is the mummy-hog of 2018



It's not the best I've ever done, but I'm proud of it nonetheless. I tried to make an ankh out of ketchup but failed... Bad.

Rarely know groundhog fact #1:

Groundhogs like to lay flat with their legs out like a panting dog on a cool tile floor

My meatloaf recipe is very boring:

Meat, ketchup, oats, egg, onion, s&p, other spices.

But the magic comes from the sculpting of the loaf.

Do yourself a favor and not post anything else in this thread. It's literally the cornerstone of stupidity

I totally just noticed one of our pups is photo bombing last years loaf.



He can be seen here trying to kill me with his mind in hopes that I will drop the tray.

Well that sucks, was hoping that you had an amazing recipe. The sculpting that you've done is great though. Guess I will continue on in my boring life where I almost never eat meatloaf.
