Monster Meatball Eyes
Start the night with an appetizer that will make your guests do a double-take—Monster Meatball Eyes. These bite-sized meatballs, topped with mozzarella and black olive "eyeballs," are creepy but oh-so-delicious.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Small mozzarella balls (for eyes)
Sliced black olives (for pupils)
Marinara sauce for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Roll the mixture into small meatballs.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the meatballs are still warm, top each with a mozzarella ball and a black olive slice to create an “eyeball” effect.
Serve with marinara sauce for a creepy dipping experience!
Mummy Hot Dogs
Why not wrap up the night with some Mummy Hot Dogs for the main course? These cute little mummies are a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients:
1 package of hot dogs
1 can of crescent roll dough
Mustard or ketchup for eyes
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips.
Wrap the dough strips around each hot dog, leaving a small space for the face.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Use mustard or ketchup to dot on little eyes to bring your mummies to life!
