Cutting up a cadaver is pretty gruesome, and the thought of cooking and eating those chunks is unimaginable. That’s why the following Cannibal's Creepy Cajun Cadaver Cuts are a perfect scary entrée to add to your Halloween BOO-ffet recipe repertoire. This recipe is actually for delicious creamy Cajun pork chops served over rice or pasta. The sauce is flavored with the “Cajun Trinity:” celery, green peppers, and onion, along with garlic, thyme, and Creole seasoning. It has a fair amount of heat, but you can control it by adding more or less hot peppers and Creole seasoning.

Although the name is frightening, the dish is amazing, and you’ll want to make it year round. Of course, you’ll want to call it Creamy Cajun Pork Chops at other times of the year.
