This Mummy Meatloaf recipe is a fun and festive Halloween dinner. A classic meatloaf is wrapped in crescent roll strips to resemble a mummy, complete with cheesy eyes. It’s a kid-friendly and spooky main dish perfect for any Halloween party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent dough sheet or crescent rolls
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese or string cheese
  • 2 black olive slices for eyes
  • Optional: Extra ketchup for topping or glaze, Mustard for spooky drizzle, Sliced cheddar cheese for added color

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Form the mixture into a loaf shape directly on your baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Once slightly cooled, cut the crescent dough into thin strips. Wrap the strips over the loaf in a crisscross mummy pattern, leaving a space near the top for the eyes.
  5. Cut two small circles from the mozzarella or use chunks of string cheese. Place black olive slices in the center and position them in the gap left on the meatloaf.
  6. Return the wrapped meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully baked.
  7. Let the mummy meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Add ketchup “blood” if desired.

Notes

  • Use lean ground meat to prevent sogginess.
  • Press crescent roll seams tightly before cutting strips.
  • Lightly brush the dough with egg wash for a golden finish.
  • Use food coloring on the cheese eyes for an eerie glow.
  • Let the loaf rest slightly before wrapping to avoid soggy dough.
