Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended.
  3. Roll the mixture into balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Cool shaped meatballs for a few minutes, then roll out crescent dough and cut it into thin strips. Wrap each meatball with dough, leaving gaps for a mummy-like appearance.
  5. Bake the wrapped meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the crescent dough turns golden brown and meat is cooked through.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before adding candy eyes to each meatball.
