Cooking meatloaf in the muffin tin cuts down on cooking time, and the "cupcake" style provides an alternative method of presentation with minimal effort. You can turn any meatloaf recipe into these cupcakes, using the baking time below. However, this recipe is truly wonderful; moist and perfectly spiced, glazed to perfection with a sweet brown sugar & ketchup sauce. This one is sure to become a favorite with your family. Pictured above are my finished cupcakes served with homemade crock pot creamed corn (recipe here).

For Presentation:
  • mashed potatoes(it works best if they're fairly creamy)
  • dried parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spray a regular sized muffin/cupcake tin with cooking spray.
  3. Combine the brown sugar, 1/8 tsp. ground ginger, ketchup and 1 Tbsp. of the Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the garlic, the remaining 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, milk, eggs, soup mix, the remaining 1/4 tsp. ground ginger, salt, pepper, bread crumbs and 1/3 of the ketchup mixture.
    *Note - If you're not a huge fan of having raw meat smushed all over your hands (I'm definitely not), use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to mix everything up. I throw that bad boy on medium/medium-high speed and let it go! It mixes everything up perfectly.*
  5. Add the ground meat and mix to thoroughly combine.
  6. Place a bit of the ketchup mixture in the bottoms of each section of the muffin/cupcake tin, then place meatloaf mix in each section, distributed evenly across the 12 sections.
  7. Top each section of meatloaf mix with some of the remaining ketchup mixture.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes or until juices are clear and a thermometer reads the center of one of the meatloaf cupcakes at 160 degrees F or more.
  9. Place desired amount of cupcakes on the plates they will be served on. Spoon some mashed potatoes on top of the cupcakes to create a frosted look and then finish with some parsley flakes sprinkled on top.
