Meatloaf Cupcakes with Whipped Potato Topping are a creative, kid-friendly twist on classic comfort food. Juicy mini meatloafs baked in a muffin tin are topped with creamy mashed potatoes for a fun and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes, whipped until creamy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  3. Divide meat mixture evenly among muffin cups and press down gently.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned on top.
  5. Let cool slightly, then top each with whipped mashed potatoes using a piping bag or spoon.
  6. Garnish with parsley or paprika, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add shredded cheese to the meat mixture for extra flavor.
  • Mix sour cream into mashed potatoes for a tangy twist.
  • Hide finely grated veggies like carrots or zucchini in the meat for a nutrition boost.
  • Freeze meatloaf portions separately and add fresh mashed potatoes when reheating.
