Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for the base layer)
  • 2 cups stiff mashed potatoes (for the bandages)
  • 12 edible candy eyes or sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the mini meatloaves from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  3. Step 3: Shape the Loaves
    Divide the meat mixture into six equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval or rectangular “loaf” shape, about 1 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with at least two inches of space between each one.
  4. Step 4: Add the Glaze and Bake
    Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of each mini meatloaf. This adds flavor and moisture. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. Step 5: Create the Mummy Bandages
    While the meatloaves bake, ensure your mashed potatoes are smooth and warm. Transfer them to a piping bag fitted with a flat “basketweave” tip or a plain round tip. Once the meatloaves are done, remove them from the oven. Pipe the mashed potatoes across each loaf in a zigzag pattern to resemble mummy bandages, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes.
  6. Step 6: Add the Eyes and Serve
    Carefully place two candy eyes or two small slices of black olives in the gap you left in the potato bandages. Serve immediately while warm.
