Description

A fun and spooky Mummy Meatloaf Dinner perfect for Halloween parties or a playful family meal. This recipe transforms a classic meatloaf into a creative, kid-friendly dish with cheese strips resembling mummy wrappings and ketchup for eyes.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ pounds Ground Beef (substitute with ground turkey or chicken)
¾ cup Breadcrumbs (substitute with oats for gluten-free)
1 Egg, beaten
1 small Onion, chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
½ cup Ketchup, plus extra for glaze
1 tablespoon Mustard
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Cheese Slices, for mummy strips (mozzarella recommended)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf. Smooth the top and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake the covered meatloaf for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and arrange cheese slices over the top of the meatloaf in a mummy-like fashion.
Return the uncovered meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the meatloaf rest briefly, then brush extra ketchup over the cheese to create eyes and a mouth for the mummy face.

Notes

For a juicier meatloaf, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
Do not overmix the meatloaf ingredients to avoid a tough texture.
Feel free to add diced bell peppers or grated carrots to the meat mixture.
Watch the cheese closely during the final bake to prevent burning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Use olive slices for the mummy’s eyes for an extra fun touch.
