Aw now that's just cute!

I've seen these around on Pinterest, but I don't like most meatloaf recipes.

Mostly because they call for bread crumbs and I don't like the way they turn out.

When I found my staple meatloaf recipe from Paula Deen on Food Network, I was in love.

So I made these using my meatloaf recipe I posted HERE and they turned out SO cute!

Meatloaf "Cupcakes"

(made 10 "cupcakes")

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup dry oatmeal
1 egg slightly beaten
Salt and Peppa

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together until well combined. using a regular size muffin tin, throw a glob of meatloaf mixture into the..."divets"...I guess? I don't know what to call them. Press the mixture into a bowl shape about 1/4 inch thick on the side and bottom. Repeat with remaining mixture in the other "divets". Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.


Whip up a batch of mashed potatoes (I used instant) and spoon into the bowls of the meatloaf cups. Top with gravy (mine came from a packet) and serve!



Peaches loved eating her Hamburger Cake and Husband filled his with ketchup, mustard, easy cheez (barf) and lettuce to make a little cheeseburger. We served them up with the remaining mashed potatoes and gravy and some sauteed spinach (washed baby spinach sauteed in olive oil with a little minced garlic until wilted).
