Meatloaf Cupcakes (TNT)
Meatloaf Cupcakes (TNT)
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix
ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg,
Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a
bowl.
Stir
ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the
bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.
Fill
muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.
Bake
in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An
instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160
degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat from muffin cups.
Top
each 'cupcake' with mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese.
Continue
baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Gail's Notes: This was soooooo awesome! Paul and I both enjoyed this meatloaf version very much! And it's so incredibly easy to make (another plus for sure!). I made a few changes (I added precooked and chopped green peppers and mushrooms to the meatloaf mixture).
Let there be no doubt, I will definitely make these again!
