Prepare these imaginative meatballs for your Mummy Meatballs Halloween party or any occasion you fancy. My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed these meatballs, particularly when encased in 'bandages'. You can pair these with products from the Alaska Tea and Spice Company and make stewed dips using DIY spice mixes. Now, let's dive into the recipe for the dish!
Gather your ingredients.
Gather all the necessary ingredients to begin making the delicious Mummy Meatballs. Here’s what you’ll need:
Meatball Ingredients
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
One teaspoon of the Alaska Tea and Spice Company can cure cabin fever.
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional for a spicy kick)
Bandage Ingredients
One can of crescent roll dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Brush with olive oil.
Eyes
Sliced olives or small pieces of pepper can be used as eyeballs.
Dipping Sauce
You can make your own dip sauce using homemade spice mixes. A simple ranch or marinara works well, but you can also add a touch of hot sauce for extra flavor.
Prepare the meatballs.
Now let’s roll those meatballs!
Combine the ingredients: Place the ground meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Alaska Tea and Spice Company cabin fever seasoning in a large bowl. Finally, if you want a spicy sauce, add it to the mixture.
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into round balls that are tiny and of the same size, roughly one inch. Place the meatballs onto the baking tray, covered with the baking paper.
Bake the Meatballs: Turn the heat of your oven up to 400°F (200°C). Bake the coconut meatballs in the kitchen for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn pinkish.
Cool Down: After baking the clay, take it out and allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the bandages.
Wrap the mummy meatballs.
Prepare your meatballs for 'wra paa gaa'. Finally, it’s time to wrap your meatballs in “bandages”!
Roll Out the Dough: Retrieve the can of crescent roll dough, empty the contents onto a clean surface, and unroll. Roll out the dough until it is thin, and then, with a sharp knife, trim into thin slices.
Wrap the Meatballs: Now, take a meatball and position it so that the strips of dough can be wrapped around it. Leave some gaps to create a mummy-like effect. You can also add a pinch of Alaska tea and Spice Company seasoning to the strips to give them a spicy taste.
Add the cheese. Place the wrapped meatballs on the baking sheet. On top of each mummy, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese.
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the dough with olive oil to help it brown nicely in the oven.
Bake Again: Return the wrapped meatballs to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown.
Create the Mummy Faces
After your Mummy Meatballs finish baking, it’s time to give them some personality!
Add the Eyes: Once the meatballs are cool enough to handle, place a slice of olive or a small piece of pepper on each meatball to create eyes.
Serve with Dipping Sauce: Present your Mummy Meatballs on a festive platter. Serve them with your homemade spice mixes for dips on the side, and maybe a little more hot sauce for those who love heat.
Tips for Perfect Mummy Meatballs
