Meatloaf Cupcakes -

I thought this was such a cute and clever idea (kids will love these) and they are great for a party!

Mike and I love Meatloaf with a side of Mashed Potatoes and corn. I saw this idea on Betty Crockers website and had to try it.

I put my own spin on it by adding corn “sprinkles” on top of my mashed potato frosting.

First step is making your mashed potatoes. I find peeling the potatoes and boiling the water and getting my potatoes boiled to the consistency I want takes the longest.

As your potatoes are boiling, make your family meatloaf recipe and instead of making a loaf separate the meat into cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. ( I would put 2 cupcake liners per meatloaf cupcake).

Bake at 400 Degrees F for about 25 minutes

Let them cool for at least 10 minutes.

Once you have your mashed potatoes made the way you like them. Put spoonfuls of mashed potatoes in a Ziploc bag and cut a hole on one of the bottom ends.

This is so you can pipe your “frosting” onto your meatloaf cupcake.

I suggest taking the cupcake liners off each meatloaf cupcake and letting them sit on a dish with a paper towel on it to get off the excess oil. ( we all know meatloaf can get oily)
