INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 sweet onion (diced)
• 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 large egg
• 3 cloves garlic (diced)
• 1 Pillsbury crescent roll sheet (8-ounce tube)
• ricotta cheese, black olives, and/or yellow mustard (for decorating)
• Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, add beef, onion, panko, garlic, parsley, and egg. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix ingredients together with a wooden spoon until well combined, then shape into 1” balls. Place onto baking sheet and set aside.
3. Slice crescent sheet in half widthwise, and then into long, thin strips. Wrap a piece of dough around meatballs to resemble a mummy, leaving a space to make eyes later on.
4. Bake until meatballs are cooked through, and dough is golden, about 15 minutes. Cover sheet with foil if dough starts to get too dark.
5. Make two ricotta dots for eyes and tiny pieces of black olives or dots of mustard for the pupils. Enjoy!
