A fun and savory twist on classic meatloaf, these meatloaf cupcakes are topped with creamy mashed potato “frosting” and make for a delightful meal.
Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Beef
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
1 Egg
1/4 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 cups Mashed Potatoes, whipped until creamy
Chopped Chives for garnish
Directions:
1️⃣ Oven Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2️⃣ Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. This mixture forms the base of the “cupcakes.”
3️⃣ Fill Muffin Tins:
Spoon the meat mixture into muffin tins, pressing down slightly to compact it. Fill each tin to the top for well-shaped cupcakes.
4️⃣ Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked and the edges are lightly crispy.
5️⃣ Whip Potatoes:
While the meatloaf bakes, whip your prepared mashed potatoes until they’re smooth and fluffy, perfect for piping.
6️⃣ Cool and Assemble:
Let the meatloaf cupcakes cool for a few minutes after baking, then carefully remove them from the tins. Pipe the whipped potatoes on top of each meatloaf cupcake to resemble frosting.
7️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle chopped chives over the whipped potatoes for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve the meatloaf cupcakes warm and savor the delightful blend of tastes.
Enjoy: These meatloaf cupcakes are perfect for a family dinner or a fun party dish. The combination of savory meatloaf and creamy mashed potatoes will be a hit with everyone!
