Get your kids excited for Halloween dinner with this spooky Mummy Meatloaf! This fun, flavorful meatloaf is wrapped in crescent roll strips to look like a mummy and is packed with a bold kick from RO*TEL® Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies. It’s a perfect festive meal for your little ghouls and goblins.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 can RO*TEL® Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, drained
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • Black olives (for eyes)
  • Optional: Green chile slices (for more detail on the eyes)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Meatloaf:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, drained RO*TEL®, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
    • Shape the meat mixture into a head shape on a lined baking sheet or in a baking dish.
  • Make the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix the drained RO*TEL®, BBQ sauce, and brown sugar.
    • Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake the Meatloaf:
    • Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Add the Crescent Mummy Wrap:
    • Remove the meatloaf from the oven.
    • Tear the crescent roll dough into strips and wrap them around the meatloaf haphazardly to mimic mummy wrappings, leaving spaces for the eyes.
    • Place two black olives where the eyes should be, and add green chile slices if using.
  • Finish Baking:
    • Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
  • Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf cool slightly before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes (you can add food coloring or olive “eyes” for extra spookiness) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef if preferred.
  • You can use puff pastry or pizza dough instead of crescent roll dough for different textures.
  • For a spicier version, add extra diced green chilies or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
