Get into the spooky spirit with these fun and flavorful Swift Ground Pork Mummy Meatballs. Juicy pork meatballs are wrapped in flaky crescent roll “bandages” and baked to golden perfection, making them a deliciously playful treat for Halloween or any fun gathering. Perfect for kids and adults alike, these bite-sized mummies are as tasty as they are festive, serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine ground pork, stuffing mix, egg, water, garlic, salt and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 24 1-inch meatballs. Place on rack in broiler pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in 400°F oven 18 to 20 minutes until 160°F. Remove immediately once done baking, set aside to cool and reset the oven to 375°F.
Meanwhile, prepare crescent roll mummy wraps. Open crescent rolls and unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal.
Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
Line up 2 or 3 meatballs. Wrap 4 pieces of dough around those meatballs and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching dough slightly to completely meatballs.
On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped meatball mummies (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown. Decorate a face with ketchup and mustard.
