Notes

  • Use any bread you like, hotdog buns work well too.
  • Use any mashed potatoes recipe you like or even a store-bought mix.
  • If you do not want to use ketchup you can pretty much make any meatloaf glaze you like. We've made it before here in this meatloaf recipe.
  • You can also brown the mashed potatoes a bit in the oven after piping on the meatloaf.

  • Place leftover meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
  • Free wrapped in plastic wrap then heavy duty foil and freeze for up to 3-4 months. Thaw in the fridge then reheat in the oven.
