Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup marinara sauce
1 package of crescent roll dough
2 olives, sliced (for eyes)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
Spread marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into strips. Wrap the strips around the meatloaf to create a mummy effect.
Place the sliced olives on top of the meatloaf for eyes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a salad for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
