Meatloaf Cupcakes with Whipped Potato Topping

Print Recipe

Muffin-sized meatloaf treats made with lean ground beef, onions, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, topped with creamy whipped mashed potatoes for a fun presentation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ cup finely diced sweet yellow onion
  • ½ cup plain panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard seed
  • ¼ cup ketchup (for glazing)
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed (for whipped potatoes)
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a standard muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, onion, panko crumbs, bread crumbs, tomato sauce, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and mustard seed until well combined. Divide mixture evenly into muffin cups, pressing down firmly. Top each with 1 teaspoon ketchup, spreading to glaze.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through and golden. While baking, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, drain, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until creamy and whipped.
  4. Pipe or spoon whipped potatoes on top of each baked meatloaf cupcake. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure potatoes are whipped smooth for easy piping. These can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat in microwave. Freeze meatloaves before topping for longer storage.
