Meatloaf Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 cups mashed potatoes
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.

Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.

Fill muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat from muffin cups.

Top each 'cupcake' with mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese.

Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
