Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Mashed Potato Frosting:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
    • In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, milk, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Fill & Bake:
    • Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing gently.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Make the Mashed Potatoes:
    • While the meatloaf bakes, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes).
    • Drain, then mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Assemble & Serve:
    • Let the muffins cool slightly, then remove from the tin.
    • Pipe or spoon mashed potato frosting on top of each muffin.
    • Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Meat Options: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Cheesy Twist: Mix shredded cheddar into the mashed potatoes.
  • Make It Gluten-Free: Use GF breadcrumbs.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months (without mashed potatoes for best results).
