Description
A fun and family-friendly twist on a classic! These savory meatloaf muffins topped with creamy mashed potatoes are perfect for weeknight dinners or special meals.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup milk
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mashed Potato Frosting:
3–4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish:
Fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, milk, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin cups and press down gently.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the meatloaf is baking, peel and cube potatoes. Boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to pot.
Mash the potatoes with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Let the meatloaf muffins cool slightly, then frost with mashed potatoes using a spoon or piping bag.
Garnish with chives or parsley, and serve warm!
Notes
For extra creamy mashed potatoes, add more butter or use a splash of heavy cream.
A hand mixer can help achieve a whipped, frosting-like texture.
Freeze unfrosted muffins for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven and frost before serving.
Makes a great kid-friendly or portion-controlled meal prep option.
