Adorable Meatloaf Cupcakes

Apparently, today is a day of adorable food posts. But my next recipe I want to post is a sweet meat loaf baked in a large cupcake/muffin pan, topped with garlic mashed potatoes as "frosting" and it has bacon and chive sprinkles.

And, it's tasty!

And cute!

What's not love for a picky eater?

First, I start making the mashed potatoes, and the meat mixture. These pictures are off my phone so they'll be mixed up a little bit.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes 

4 large russet potatoes 

2 tablespoons butter 

1 clove garlic 

1/4 cup light sour cream 

Peel, dice, and boil potatoes in a pot of water, just enough water to cover the tops. Boil until they are falling apart on their own. Drain the water, put the potatoes in a bowl and mash in butter. Stir in butter, garlic, and light sour cream. 

Meatloaf Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1lb ground meat

1 orange bell pepper, diced

½ sweet onion, diced

¼ cup marinara

¼ cup bread crumbs

1 egg

Ketchup

Directions: Mix everything together in a bowl. Add meat mixture in to large muffin tins. Add enough ketchup on top of meat mixture to glaze. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, set a muffin tin on top of a small cookie sheet before baking just in case. This should make about 12 “cupcakes” or 6 large.

To form the “meat cupcakes” place your meatloaves on a baking dish. Take a sandwich bag, stuff it with mashed potatoes, and cut the corner of the sandwich bag to make a piping bag. Squeeze the mashed potatoes out on to the meatloaves. Used crumbled bacon and chives as sprinkles. 

Make sure to boil your diced potatoes until they are falling apart.

Stuff your meat mixture in the muffin tins.
