Must have done it twice, cuz those are completely different meat babies. Even accounting for the meat shrinking and changing a bit as it cooked, the result shot is not the actual result of the before shot. Not that it really matters… just noticed it and wanted to share, lol.
Left (uncooked) is directly on the baking sheet, right (cooked) is on aluminum foil.
No one, not even someone insane enough to make a meat baby, would go through the effort of assembling it on a bare sheet and then adding the foil under it.
It doesn’t really matters of they’ve shifted it from the pan after the oven. I’m sure those feet are pretty jiggly and undercooked underneath might get places differently on the foil as when they were cooking
Specifically, the way the arms and legs changed doesn’t make sense for just meat shrink. And the diaper is completely different strips of bacon. Not only wrapped differently, but not contaning any of the same pieces of bacon even in different positions.
My point is that between snapping the first photo and putting it in the oven, they may have slightly rearranged it or tightened the bacon diaper, who knows.
Also, the shifting and shrinking on the meat is very much to do with how dense the dough is at any given point (as it’s not just ground meat, but also like egg and a bit of flour maybe, personally I’d also add onions and chili but that’s just me). Meaning that it will be affected differently for denser parts than looser ones. And that thing has required some pat patting so definitely not a homogeneous dough I’d say.
But again, this is just my opinion. I find it more likely an explanation towards the differences than making two strikingly similar meat babies. Also one is on foil, the other is not. So have had to lift it, and I don’t know if they would’ve put it on foil after the oven? Although I think baby sized serving dishes probably aren’t too common so that’s a bad guess.
Anyway, I genuinely don’t know which one of us is right and I don’t really care. I’m enjoying meatbaby theorycrafting.

Idk man.
Have you ever made homemade meatballs? I have and I disagree and think it probably is the same meat baby.
But I accept this is purely my opinion and I am basing it solely on my intuition, and thus accept that I may be wrong,

Well no, thats kinda what I implied.

Indeed.
