Meatloaf Mummies

David Venable

Bring a bewitching dish to the dinner table, using sliced olives and strips of crescent sheet dough to turn mini meatloaves into irresistible mummies!

Meatloaves

  • 1-1/4 lbs meatloaf mix
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tube crescent dough sheet
  • 4 stuffed green queen olives, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
To make the meatloaves, gently mix together the meatloaf mix, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl until just combined.
Divide the meatloaf mixture into four portions (about 8 oz each). To make the mummies, form each portion into a flattened football shape, about 6inch long and 1inch high, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, unroll the crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into four equal portions. Cut each portion into seven long, 1/4inch-wide strips.
After the meatloaves have baked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven and allow to sit for 2 minutes. Place two center slices of olives at the top of each meatloaf for the mummy eyes. Starting at the top, carefully drape seven strips across the meatloaf for the mummy wrappings. Repeat with the three remaining meatloaves.
Once all of the meatloaves are wrapped, place them back in the oven for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°.
To make the side sauce, mix together the ketchup, honey, and Worcestershire sauce while the meatloaf mummies are baking. Serve on the side.

Side Sauce

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Cook's Notes

If you can’t find the crescent dough sheet product, you can use crescent roll dough. Simply pinch together at the perforations to form a sheet.
