Savory mini meatloaves topped with creamy mashed potato “frosting”!


Ingredients

For the meatloaf:

1 lb ground beef (or half beef, half turkey)

½ cup breadcrumbs

1 egg

¼ cup milk

½ small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper

For the mashed potato topping:

2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)

2 tbsp butter

¼ cup milk

Salt & pepper to taste

Optional: shredded cheddar, chives, or bacon bits for garnish


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

In a bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients and mix well.

Divide mixture evenly into muffin cups and press down gently.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until cooked through (internal temp 160°F).

Meanwhile, warm mashed potatoes and stir in butter and milk until fluffy.

Once meatloaf “cupcakes” are done, let cool slightly.
