For the Mashed Potato Frosting
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared) Can be homemade or store-bought

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onions, milk, ketchup, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  3. Spoon the meatloaf mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
Cooking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink in the center.
  2. While the muffins are baking, prepare or reheat the mashed potatoes. Whip them with a little milk or butter for a fluffier texture.
Assembly
  1. Once the muffins are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Top each muffin with a generous serving of mashed potatoes like frosting.
  2. Drizzle a little extra ketchup over the top and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
