Meatloaf Cupcakes

These look like a little cupcake with the meat inside of a muffin pan and mashed potato icing. My kids eat these up quickly.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 cup crushed saltine crackers

½ cup chopped onion

½ cup chopped green bell pepper

⅓ cup milk

1 egg

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

½ cup ketchup

½ cup brown sugar

4 cups mashed potatoes

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.

  3. Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.

  4. Fill muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat from muffin cups.

  6. Top each ‘cupcake’ with mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese.

  7. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
