1

Mixing the Meatloaf

In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Forming the Meatloaf Muffins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin. Divide the meatloaf mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a mini meatloaf. Place each mini meatloaf into the greased muffin tin, pressing it gently to ensure it's snug.

3

Baking the Meatloaf Muffins

Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf muffins are cooked through and browned on top. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Whipping Up the Mashed Potato Frosting

While the meatloaf muffins are baking, prepare the mashed potato frosting. Peel and chop 2 pounds of potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them with 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, salt, and pepper to taste until smooth and creamy.

5

Frosting the Meatloaf Muffins

Once the meatloaf muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer the mashed potato frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the mashed potatoes onto each meatloaf muffin, creating a beautiful frosting effect.

Garnishing and Serving

For some extra pizzazz, garnish each mini meatloaf muffin with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or grated cheese. Serve the mini meatloaf muffins warm and enjoy the delightful sensation of biting into these adorable and delicious comfort food treats!
