Spooky Mummy Meatloaf Recipe

This Mummy Meatloaf features a savory meat mixture wrapped in flaky pastry, creating a delightful dish that is both tasty and fun. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup ketchup
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 slices mozzarella cheese for eyes
2 black olives for pupils

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, ketchup, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture to a baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. Make sure it’s compact and even.
Wrap with Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into strips. Wrap the strips around the meatloaf to resemble mummy bandages, leaving gaps for the ‘eyes’.
Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the dough is golden brown.
Add Eyes: In the last 5 minutes of baking, place the mozzarella cheese slices in the gaps for eyes and add the black olives on top for pupils. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
Serve: Let the meatloaf cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your spooky Mummy Meatloaf!
