This is an idea I got off the net, but I am using a recipe for meatloaf I got from my friend, Karen Blakemore. I call it Karen's Meatloaf. :) Anyway, here is the recipe! It really does make a great April Fool's Day dinner, by the way.Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped onions (optional...TJ doesn't like onions, so I have to leave these out)
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
Sauce:
2/3 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 & 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
Topping:
Mashed Potatoes
Food Coloring
Directions:
Mix together the first 7 ingredients. Press into tin muffin cups & fill 3/4 full with the mixture.
In a small bowl mix together the sauce ingredients. Spoon over "cupcakes". Bake in a 350 degree oven for approx. 45 minutes.
While those are baking, make your mashed potatoes...or do like me and heat up Bob Evans store bought Mashed Potatoes! Add desired food coloring.
When the meatloaf is finished, put colored Mashed Potatoes on top. Serve!!
This made 12 cupcakes and one small dish of meatloaf, so could have made about 18, I think.
I have to say, I don't usually like meatloaf, but this is SO good!! Even TJ and Sam love it!!
Thanks, Karen!!
