These Meatball Mummies combine seasoned ground beef with a hidden strip of string cheese. They are baked until golden, then topped with marinara sauce to look like mummy wrappings. Perfect for a Halloween party appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
  2. In a big bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper until they are just blended.
  3. Take a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a string cheese strip in the center, then wrap the meat around it to shape into a ball.
  4. Do this with all the meat and cheese, making roughly 16 meatballs.
  5. Arrange the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Lightly drizzle each meatball with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the meatballs are fully cooked and have a bit of browning.
  8. Take the meatballs out of the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
  9. Drizzle marinara sauce over the meatballs to create a mummy-wrap look.
  10. Serve the meatballs while they are still warm.
