Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)
- Black olives (for eyes)
- Red food coloring
- Cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Shape the Rats:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough around the filling, shaping it into a rat-like form. Pinch the edges to seal.
4. Add the Details:
Place a small piece of black olive on each rat for the eyes. Use a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to create a "bloody" effect on the dough. This will give your rats a spooky, gory appearance.
5. Bake:
Place the rats on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
Serve the Bloody Baked Rats hot, with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
