ingredients
-
For the Meatloaf Cupcakes
- 4 slices bacon (reserve bacon drippings)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 eggs
-
For the Mashed Potato Frosting
- 4 cups cubed peeled yukon gold potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream (or half & half)
- 1⁄4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel. Allow to cool. Crumble into pieces.
- Add chopped onion to the reserved bacon drippings and sauté 3-4 minutes. Cool.
- Add turkey, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, eggs, sautéed onions & crumbled bacon to a bowl and mix until combined.
- Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing.
- While the meatloaf is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Place potatoes in a pan; cover with water. Add pinch of salt, Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Put potatoes into a ricer for best results. Return potato to pan. Add heavy whipping cream and remaining ingredients; stir with a spoon to desired consistency. If they are not creamy enough for you, add up to 1/4 cup more cream or milk – although they need to be stiff enough to pipe on top.
- Put the potatoes into a pastry bag with a wide star tip and pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the meatloaf.

Great! I used ground beef. Love the meat/potato combo. Made for Name that Ingredient. -
Delicious. I made one change in that I used lean ground beef. Made for New Kids on the Block Tag Game. :) -
The concept is cute, have seen the cupcake idea elsewhere. The recipe was disappointing though. They are greasy, partly because of the cheese. Also, if you crisp the bacon and crumble it, then the pieces are too hard. It just didn't work very well. The meatloaf was not firm and "hold-together" enough and traditional meatloaf would have been superior. -
This was sooo good!i don't peel my potatoes to leave the vitamins from the peel with the mashed potatoes so mine weren't as pretty but loved the combo and all the additions to the potatoes. -
These were perfect !!!!
