Description

These Mini Meatloaf Muffins with Mashed Potato Frosting are a delightful twist on traditional meatloaf, offering individual portions topped with creamy mashed potatoes for a fun and comforting meal perfect for families or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/3 cup ketchup plus extra for topping

Mashed Potato Frosting

  • 2 cups prepared mashed potatoes, warm and smooth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the muffins.
  2. Combine Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and 1/3 cup ketchup. Mix gently until just combined to keep the meatloaf tender.
  3. Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the meat mixture among the muffin cups, pressing lightly to shape each mini meatloaf. Top each with a small spoonful of additional ketchup for added flavor and moisture.
  4. Bake the Meatloaf: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the meatloaf muffins reach an internal temperature of 160°F, ensuring they are fully cooked.
  5. Prepare Mashed Potato Frosting: While the meatloafs bake, stir butter and milk or cream into the warm mashed potatoes until smooth and fluffy, ready to be used as a topping.
  6. Rest and Frost: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Then, pipe or spoon the mashed potato mixture on top of each muffin to resemble frosting.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve the mini meatloaf muffins warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix shredded cheddar cheese into the mashed potatoes before topping.
  • These mini meatloaves freeze well without the mashed potato topping and can be reheated easily for quick meals.
