Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf Muffins:

  • 1 lb 450 g ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Mashed Potato Frosting:

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes prepared fresh or leftovers
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes:

  • Cooked and crumbled bacon
  • Fresh chives or parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin tin compartments, pressing gently to shape them into mini meatloaf portions. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the meatloaf muffins are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
  • Step 4: While the meatloaf muffins bake, prepare the mashed potatoes. Mash the potatoes with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 5: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a piping bag with a star tip or a resealable plastic bag (snip off one corner for piping).
  • Step 6: Once the meatloaf muffins are out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Pipe the mashed potato frosting onto each meatloaf muffin. Sprinkle with bacon bits and fresh herbs for garnish.
