Meatloaf Cupcakes with Whipped Potato Topping (Page 2 ) | July 16, 2025

 

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.

Step 2: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully blended.

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it in firmly and filling each to the top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake the mini meatloafs for 20–25 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly browned on top.

Step 5: Prepare the Whipped Potato Topping

While the meatloaf cupcakes bake, whip your mashed potatoes until smooth and fluffy. For best results, use a hand mixer.

Step 6: Assemble the Cupcakes

Let the meatloaf cupcakes cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Then, use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe the whipped potatoes on top—just like frosting!

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives and serve warm. These savory cupcakes are perfect alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
