Meatloaf Cupcakes With Mashed Potato Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 18 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix Meatloaf ingredients until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, pressing mixture down firmly.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F. Cool slightly in muffin cups.
• While loaves are baking, in 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes in generously salted cold water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook potatoes until fork-tender. Drain; return to saucepan. Add butter and 1/4 cup milk; mash until creamy and smooth, adding more milk as necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Make sure mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth so they can be piped onto meatloaves.
• Place potatoes in 10-inch decorating bag without tip. Starting at outside of loaf and in circular motion, pipe potatoes onto each meatloaf. If desired, garnish with additional parsley. Remove from muffin cups.

Steps:

• 1.) Heat oven to 375°F. Place foil baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
• 2). In 2-quart saucepan, make 1 pouch potatoes as directed on box. Stir in cheese. Set aside.
• 3.) In large bowl, mix meat loaf mixture ingredients. Press about 3 tablespoons meat mixture in each muffin cup.
• 4.) In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients except parsley. Spread about 2 teaspoons sauce over meat loaf mixture in each muffin cup. Place potato mixture in decorating bag fitted with #847 or desired tip. Pipe potatoes on cupcakes.
• 5.) Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of cupcake reads 160°F. Sprinkle with parsley; serve immediately.
• * Skip the homemade sauce and just use, ketchup or barbecue sauce.
• * Skip the potato piping. Just spoon the potatoes over the sauce.
• * Make sure to use extra-lean ground beef so there is less fat in foil baking cups after baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.
• Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.
• Fill muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat from muffin cups.
• Top each 'cupcake' with mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese.
• Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Combine the turkey, pork, onions, tomato paste, flour, garlic, dill, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl. Let rest, refrigerated, for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Form the meatloaf mixture into 12 balls and put 1 ball in each cup of a 12-cup cupcake or muffin tin. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes, put back in the pot and add the cream, butter, truffle oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth; do not over-work as the potatoes will become gummy. If the potatoes are too wet, cook over low heat until a smooth consistency is achieved.
• For the cherry tomato jam: Sweat the onions, ginger and rosemary with the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sherry vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar and cherry tomatoes and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-third, 7 to 8 minutes
• To serve, put each meatloaf cupcake on a plate, ice with some mashed potato icing and top off with a dollop of the cherry tomato jam.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel. Allow to cool. Crumble into pieces.
• Add chopped onion to the reserved bacon drippings and sauté 3-4 minutes. Cool.
• Add turkey, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, eggs, sautéed onions & crumbled bacon to a bowl and mix until combined.
• Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing.
• While the meatloaf is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Place potatoes in a pan; cover with water. Add pinch of salt, 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 heavy whipping cream 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 cream or 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.
