🧁 Meatloaf Cupcakes 🧁
Delight in these adorable and savory Meatloaf Cupcakes! Perfectly portioned and topped with creamy mashed potato “frosting,” these mini meatloaves are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (for “frosting”)
- Optional: chives or parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease it well.
- Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, ketchup, beaten egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form Meatloaf Cupcakes: Evenly divide the meatloaf mixture into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to shape them into “cupcakes.”
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the tops are slightly browned.
- Prepare Mashed Potatoes: While the meatloaf cupcakes are baking, prepare your mashed potatoes if you haven’t already.
- Frost and Serve: Once the meatloaf cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Pipe or spoon the mashed potatoes on top of each meatloaf cupcake to resemble frosting. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Enjoy your fun and delicious Meatloaf Cupcakes! 😋
