A fun and festive Halloween recipe featuring mini meatloaves wrapped in flaky crescent dough strips, perfect for family dinners or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can crescent roll dough (about 8 oz / 225 g)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cheese slices, cut into small strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6-8 small oval shapes and place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Slice the triangles into thin strips about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) wide.
  5. Loosely wrap the crescent dough strips around each meatloaf oval, leaving gaps to peek through. Tuck ends underneath to secure.
  6. Add small pieces of cheese or dots of mustard/ketchup for eyes on each mummy’s head (optional).
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until dough is golden and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

Do not wrap dough too tightly to allow puffing. Use a foil tent if dough browns too quickly. Rest meatloaves after baking for juicier texture. Can substitute puff pastry or biscuit dough. Freeze unbaked mummies on a tray before storing.
