🙋🏼♀️ Recipe FAQ’s
No pie dough? Substitute pizza or crescent dough. Either would be a great substitute!
I recommend thawing them. If they bake frozen the dough can get overcooked. It’s best to thaw them first.
Place them in a 350 degree preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until hot.
🥣 Variations
If you want to make you Mummy Meatballs a little more substantial, thread three thawed meatballs onto skewers and wrap in dough and bake. Super fun!
Have leftovers? Halloween meatballs make the BEST sub sandwiches! Reheat the meatballs on a cookie sheet or in the air fryer. Tuck them into rolls, add a generous ladle of marinara sauce and a slice of mozzarella cheese. Put them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and hot!

This is such a fun idea for Halloween — tried them out this weekend just to see if I could pull off the wrapping with the pie crust and it was easier than I thought it would be!
