• 4 pounds lean ground beef
• 3 cups Italian bread crumbs
• 4 eggs
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
• Topping:
• 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 3 drops orange food coloring, or as needed (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine beef, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, spaghetti sauce, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt in a large bowl. Push mixture down into the bottom of the bowl and smooth the top. Flip bowl over into a large cake pan with sides to hold drippings. Use fingers to mold a stem shape at the top and make a happy or scary pumpkin face in the meat.
3. Combine spaghetti sauce and orange food coloring in a small bowl. Paint the meat loaf surface with the sauce mixture and sprinkle Italian seasoning on the stem.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until inside is no longer pink, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
5. Drain grease from cake pan or transfer loaf to a serving plate.
