Instructions
Creating Mummy Meatloaf is enjoyable and straightforward. Just follow these steps to craft your spooky masterpiece:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined.
3. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet and shape it into a loaf form. Ensure it’s compact to keep its shape while baking.
4. Add Ketchup: Spread half of the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.
5. Prepare the Dough: Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll it. Cut the dough into thin strips to create the “bandages” for the mummy.
6. Wrap the Meatloaf: Gently wrap the strips of crescent dough around the meatloaf, leaving gaps for the “eyes.” Be creative in your design!
7. Bake the Meatloaf: Place the wrapped meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour.
8. Add More Ketchup: About 10 minutes before removing from the oven, add the remaining ketchup on top for extra flavor and color.
9. Create the Eyes: After removing it from the oven, place two black olives at the top of the meatloaf for eyes.
10. Let Rest: Allow the Mummy Meatloaf to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
These steps will guide you in creating a delightful and spooky Mummy Meatloaf that will impress everyone at your Halloween celebration.
