Simple Gruesome Dishes

This Simple 'Worms in Dirt' Halloween Recipe Looks Gross But Tastes Great

— September 26, 2013 — Lifestyle
For those who want to eat a little something other than candy this Halloween, try your hand at this 'Worms in Dirt' Halloween recipe. The dish takes only a few minutes to prepare and was featured on the Jimmy Fallon show.

This simple 'Worms in Dirt' recipe serves up to ten people and will make for a great simple dish. Simply slice eight hot dogs lengthwise into thin half-inch thick strips and add to a pot of boiling water. Simmer the strips until they begin to slightly curl, drain, then set to the side. Prepare two cans of drained and chopped black beans and simply add to a large serving bowl. Add strips of hot dogs and rearrange to give the appearance that the strips are emerging from the 'dirt' (bean strips,) and you're ready to serve this dish.

This simple recipe can be prepared in a matter of minutes and is also relatively healthy. Offset that bag of candy with this recipe by Martha Stewart.
