Tips:
- To make the cupcakes, you will need a muffin tin and cupcake liners. If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also use a loaf pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For the hidden gems, you can use any type of vegetable that you like. Some good options include carrots, celery, peas, and corn. You can also use cooked bacon or sausage.
- To make the glaze, you will need a small saucepan. You can also use a microwave-safe bowl if you prefer.
- When you are mixing the meatloaf mixture, be sure to do so gently. Over-mixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- When you are baking the cupcakes, be sure to keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
