Meatloaf Cupcakes

Saw a similar recipe on Facebook a few weeks ago. Found this one on a blog: http://zitzmanfam.blogspot.com/2013/04/mashed-potato-topped-mini-meatloaves.html

I did not use the mashed potato recipe here- just made them like I normally do.

Used the Pampered Chef Easy Accent decorator to pipe on the potato "frosting".

It was a hit with my family! Lois

MEATLOAF:
1 pound ground hamburger
1 pound ground pork
1 small onion, grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
2-3 splashes Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten

SAUCE:
1/2 cup Asian sweet chili sauce
1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard

MASHED POTATOES:
2 large potatoes, cut up
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup half and half
pinch of salt
2 Tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare the meatloaf by combining the first set of ingredients together in a big bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated, but do not over mix. Put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while make the sauce.

Make the sauce by whisking the sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, and mustard together until completely mixed.

Spray a cupcake tin with cooking spray. Fill each cup with a handful of meat. Gently press it down to completely fill DO NOT overfill!! Spread a spoonful of sweet chili sauce over the top of each mini loaf. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

While they are baking, make the potatoes.

Put the potatoes in a pot, cover with water. Add the garlic to the water. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender. Drain. Let the potatoes cool slightly. Whip the potatoes with the half and half and the egg yolk. Whip until fluffy. Stir in the melted butter. Prepare a pastry bag with a large tip and fill the bag with the potato mixture. OR you can fill a Ziploc bag and cut one tip of the bag.

Once the mini loaves are baked, remove from the oven and turn on the broiler. Top the mini loaves with the potatoes and then put the mini loaves back in the oven for a few minutes until the potatoes are lightly golden.

Let them set for a couple of minutes and then remove them from the pan.
