April Fools' Day Colorful Meatloaf 'cupcakes' image

The first surprise here: there's not a grain of sugar in these cupcakes. The second surprise: your kids will love them anyway. TIP: I just make mashed potatoes using the instant mashed potato flakes. It is smooth, and the food coloring mixes well with it.

Categories     Meat

Time 25m

Yield 12 'cupcakes', 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
3 cups mashed potatoes
food coloring

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375*. Line 12 muffin tin cups with foil bake cups.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the meat loaf ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined cups (the liners should be about three quarters full).
  • Place the filled muffin tins on cookie sheets and bake the 'cupcakes' for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Divide the mashed potatoes among three small bowls and stir a few drops of food coloring into each batch to create blue, yellow, and pink 'frostings.' Spread a generous dollop on each 'cupcake.'.

These were a disaster! The meatloaf was raw in the middle and the mashed potato frosting was lumpy.

These were just okay. The meatloaf was a bit dry and the mashed potato frosting was too sweet for my taste.

These were a fun and creative way to serve meatloaf. I will definitely be making them again.

These were a fun and easy recipe to make. I used a muffin tin instead of a cupcake tin and they turned out great. The kids loved them!

These were so cute and festive! Perfect for an April Fools' Day party. The meatloaf was moist and flavorful and the mashed potato frosting was a nice touch.

These meatloaf cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more moisture to the meatloaf mixture. The mashed potato frosting was good though.

These were a lot of fun to make and they tasted delicious! I added some chopped onion and bell pepper to the meatloaf mixture for extra flavor. The mashed potato frosting was a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

I've never made meatloaf cupcakes before but these turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very moist and flavorful. The mashed potato frosting was a bit tricky to pipe but it was worth it in the end.
