BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF CUPCAKES WITH MASHED POTATO TOPPING RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato Topping Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1 onion, finely diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
12 slices bacon
5 potatoes
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. MEATLOAF: Line your muffin tin with the bacon so that each tin is circled by one strip. Mix together the beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, tomato paste, sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Form the meat into 12 equally sized balls and place them into the bacon-lined muffin tins. Fold the top of the bacon over, if needed. Pop them into the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is cooked through and the bacon is crisp. POTATOES: While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare your mashed potatoes. Dice up the potatoes and boil them in salted water until they're soft. Drain the potatoes, pop them into a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork until they're completely smooth. Add your butter, cheese, milk, salt, etc and mix until fully combined. Move your mashed potatoes into a piping bag (or a zip-lock with an edge cut off) and save it until the meatloaf is ready. CUPCAKE: Once the meatloaf is ready, take them out of the oven, and pipe them with the mashed potatoes! After they're all piped, pop them back into the oven, and turn your heat up to 400-500 degrees F. Heat until the tops of the potatoes are golden brown (it should be very quick - no more than 5-6 minutes). Remove them from the oven, let cool for a bit, and enjoy!

MEATLOAF CUPCAKES



MEATLOAF CUPCAKES image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, extra lean (raw)
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
4 cups cubed peeled Yukon gold potato (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped chives
4 pieces of bacon cooked and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, chopped carrot, dried oregano, and minced garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Cool. Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl. Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Top each with 2 teaspoons ketchup. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes. While the meatloaf is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Place potato in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Put potatoes into a ricer for best results. Return potato to pan. Add milk and remaining ingredients; stir with a spoon to desired consistency. If they are not creamy enough for you, add up to 1/4 cup more milk - although they need to be stiff enough to pipe on top. Put the potatoes into a pastry bag with a wide star tip and pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with bacon crumbles and chopped chives.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use ground beef with at least 80% lean meat.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture, as this can make it tough.
  • Be sure to press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the cupcake tins.
  • Bake the meatloaf cupcakes until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Let the meatloaf cupcakes cool slightly before frosting them.
  • Get creative with your frosting! You can use mashed potatoes, gravy, or even ketchup.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf cupcakes are a fun and easy way to dress up a classic dish. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With so many different ways to make them, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
