Instructions
Making Halloween Mummy Meatballs is a simple process if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a greased baking sheet.
4. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into thin strips, about a 1/4 inch wide. Wrap each meatball with the dough strips, leaving gaps that resemble “bandages”.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and the dough is golden brown. In the last few minutes of baking, add olive slices on top of the meatballs to create eyes.
