Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes

Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Meatloaf:

  • 1 pound (96%) extra lean ground beef or ground turkey, see shopping tips
  • 1 slice whole-wheat bread (I used Milton’s Multigrain bread)
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown or yellow mustard (not Dijon)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Ingredients for Topping:

  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon spicy mustard or yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar

Ingredients for Mashed Potatoes:

  • 3 cups (1 pound) baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ⅓ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a regular size (12-cup) muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • To make bread crumbs: remove crust, break up the bread, and add to a blender or food processor. Process until the bread turns into crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, add the ground beef, bread crumbs, onions, egg whites, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.  Using your hands, mix together until well.
  • Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, fill 9 muffin cups. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients. Spread about 2½ teaspoons topping all over the top of each meatloaf cupcake. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is baking, make the mashed potatoes. Add potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain potatoes into a colander and place drained potatoes back in the pot. Mash potatoes with a fork. Add the butter or Smart Balance, broth, and a little salt and pepper. Turn flame to medium and continue to mash potatoes until smooth and all the ingredients are heated.
  • Remove meatloaf muffins from pan and place on paper towels to drain the fat. Top each with 2 rounded tablespoons of mashed potatoes and serve.
