Mummy Meatballs

Are you looking for a way to turn your Halloween dinner into a fun and spooky event?  These Mummy Meatballs are it!  Serve with a side of liquified brains marinara and your kids won’t be able to help but double dip.

Want to make your dinner even crazier? Toss in a side of Unicorn Poop Veggie Dip…and don’t forget the Body Parts Pudding for dessert! Happy Halloween!

What You Need To Make Mummy Meatballs:

• ½ lb ground Italian sausage
• ½ lb ground beef, turkey or chicken
• 1 egg
• ¼ Cup Italian bread crumbs
• ¼ Cup Parmesan cheese
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Olive oil
• 1 package crescent dough (find it in your refrigerated section of the grocery store)
• Candy Eyes
• Black decorating gel

How To Make Mummy Meatballs:

Preheat your oven according to the crescent dough’s instructions and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Pour a bit of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine meat, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning.  

Using your hands, gently mix everything together. One of the secrets to making great meatballs is to not over mix your ingredients.

Form into meatballs.

Place the meatballs into the warmed-up skillet.  

Brown meatballs, but don’t cook all the way through (almost, but not completely).

While the meatballs are cooking, unroll the crescent dough.

Cut the dough into long strips.

When your meatballs are done, pat dry and wrap one of the crescent roll strips.

Place on the greased baking sheet and bake according to the crescent dough’s instructions.

Once baked, use a small drop of decorating gel on the back of a candy eye and attach to the mummy meatball.  

Serve with a cup of marinara sauce (or brains as my son put it) for dunking. Enjoy!
