Looking for a fun way to liven up your next gathering or family meal? Meet your new favorite treat: Spooktacular Cheddar-Stuffed Mummy Dogs. Wrapped in flaky dough, oozing with melted cheese, and irresistibly adorable, these hand-held delights are sure to become a fast favorite.
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs (your choice of beef, turkey, or veggie)
- 8 thin slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Optional: mustard or ketchup for mummy “eyes” and dipping
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet. Slice the dough into narrow strips about a quarter-inch thick. These strips will become your mummy bandages.
Next, pat the hot dogs dry. Carefully cut a slit down the length of each hot dog and tuck one slice of cheddar inside. Wrap each hot dog in a few strips of dough, leaving a little space near the top so you can draw eyes later. Arrange your mummies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pop them in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Use a fine-tipped squeeze bottle (or toothpick) to dot on ketchup or mustard eyes for a playful final touch.
These Spooktacular Cheddar-Stuffed Mummy Dogs are a joy for kids, Halloween party-goers, and anyone who loves a little whimsy on their plate. They’re easy to customize with turkey dogs, veggie alternatives, or even swapping in pepper jack for a zesty kick. Add a side salad or roasted veggies if you’re watching your indulgences, or go all-out with french fries. No matter how you serve them, these mummies deliver big on flavor and fun—prepare to be haunted by requests for seconds!
