Last night I came home from work and my partner Doug was fixing one of his signature recipes for dinner, these whimsical and super delicious meat loaf muffins. This is one of my favorite things he prepares and I just HAD to blog it.
These savory cupcakes are ridiculously easy to prepare using things you probably already have in the pantry. They are the perfect three-bite size nuggets of meaty goodness. I absolutely love the magic that happens to the ketchup glaze after it is baked. Doug likes to "frost" these cupcakes by piping garlic mashed potatoes on top, but you can use any kind of mashed potato you like.

Time to get these bad boys in the oven!
Bake 50- 60 minutes on another baking sheet to catch drippings until meatloaf is cooked all the way through (pan will be messy!).
Allow muffins to cool for 10- 15 minutes before carefully removing from pan and frosting with mashed potatoes.
