Description
A savory ground beef meatloaf wrapped in melted mozzarella cheese strips to resemble a mummy, finished with olive eyes for a spooky Halloween effect.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese, sliced into strips
- 4 black olives, sliced into rounds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and ketchup.
- Mix by hand until the ingredients are just combined, avoiding overworking the meat.
- Shape the mixture into an oblong cylinder on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lay mozzarella cheese strips across the meatloaf in an overlapping pattern, leaving a small gap for the eyes.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the cheese is golden.
- Remove from the oven and press olive slices into the cheese gap to create the eyes.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
