Print Recipe

These Mummy Meatball Sliders are a fun and delicious Halloween dinner that comes together in about 30 minutes. Wrapped in pizza dough ‘bandages’ and topped with candy eyes, they’re a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24–30 frozen Italian-style meatballs
  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls recommended)
  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 24–30 candy eyes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Thaw frozen meatballs according to package directions (microwave 2-3 minutes). Drain any excess liquid.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Cut dough into long strips about 1/2-inch wide (aim for 30 strips total).
  5. Wrap 2-3 dough strips around each meatball, leaving a small gap for the eyes. Press ends to seal.
  6. Place wrapped meatballs on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. In a small bowl, beat egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush egg wash over dough strips.
  8. Sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning if desired.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Immediately press candy eyes into the warm dough.
  11. Slice slider buns in half. Place a spoonful of marinara on bottom half, add cheese, then 2-3 mummy meatballs. Top with bun and serve.

Notes

For best results, use pizza dough (not crescent roll dough) for sturdy bandages. Don’t skip the egg wash for a golden finish. Add candy eyes immediately after baking while dough is warm. Can assemble mummies up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Freeze unbaked mummies for up to 3 months.
