MEATLOAF CUPCAKES WITH MASHED POTATO



Meatloaf Cupcakes With Mashed Potato image

Everything tastes better in miniature form! These Meatloaf Cupcakes are made extra irresistible by piling on mashed potato. These freeze very well. They are also great for hiding vegetables. I only added grated carrot, but you can mix in whatever vegetables you want. Finely chopped spinach or cabbage would blend in well, as would grated zucchini.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb / 500g beef mince ((ground beef))
1 onion (, grated (brown, white or yellow))
2 small carrots (, grated)
2 eggs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup tomato ketchup ((or tomato sauce))
1 cup panko ((or breadcrumbs))
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
Pepper
2 large or 3 medium potatoes
1 tbsp butter ((optional))
1/2 - 1 cup milk
Tomato ketchup or sauce
Parsley (, finely chopped (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Spray 8 holes of a muffin tin.
  • Grate the onion and carrot straight into a large bowl.
  • Add remaining meatloaf ingredients and use your hands to mix and combine well.
  • Scoop up 1/2 cup of mince and use your hands to form a rough ball shape. Press into the muffin tin. The surface should be a slight dome shape.

  • Peel and dice the potato. Steam or boil until soft but not waterlogged.

  • Top with mashed potato, either by piping it or just dolloping it on with a spoon.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of parsley, if using.
