Meatloaf Cupcakes

Meatloaf Cupcakes

1. 1 pound  ground beef
2. 1/2 pound ground pork
3. 1 onion , grated 
4. 2 small carrots , grated
5. 2 eggs
6. 1/4 cup tomato ketchup (or tomato sauce)
7. 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
8. 1 tsp garlic powder
9. 1 tsp dried oregano
10. 1/2 tsp dried thyme
11. 1 tsp salt
12. fresh cracked pepper

Topping:

1. Ketchup 
2. Mashed potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 350° and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2. To prepare the meatloaf, mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. I find using my hands works best.
3. Separate the meatloaf in to 12 equal portions or if you’re using a larger cupcake tin separate into six portions.
4. Press each meatloaf portion into the muffin tins until they are all filled.
5. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through completely.
6. Drizzle some additional catch up on top.
7. While the meatloaf is cooking, warm the mashed potatoes according to package instructions or make your own favorite recipe.
8. Fill a Ziploc bag with your warm mashed potatoes.
9. Snip one corner of the Ziploc bag and squeeze on the mashed potatoes over the top of each individual meatloaf like you would frosting.
10. Turn the oven onto broil and cook just until browned on top.
11. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
