Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato Frosting and Guacamole Frosting

04/11/16 | In My Kitchen, Low Carb Recipes, What's Cooking

         When I think back to some of my favorite home-cooked meals that I enjoyed as a child, several favorites come to mind.  There was the delicious meatloaf that my Mom would cook up along with my Dad’s famous mashed potatoes.  There is nothing like meatloaf and mashed potatoes to fill up your belly on a hungry night.  I was thinking what if there was a recipe that combined meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  Not just putting meatloaf on your plate with a side of mashed but somehow combining the two into one.  So during this past weekend, I hosted a small gathering and came up with a dish I like to call meatloaf cupcakes.

And for those of you watching your carb intake, I came up with a healthy low-carb version. So read on. 

         It is meatloaf in the shape and size of cupcakes but they have delicious homemade mashed potatoes and secret sauce on top. Well the sauce isn’t really a secret since I’m just about to tell all of you the recipe.  This recipe can work with ground beef, turkey, or chicken. Give this one a try and your family will be praising your cooking genius.  Not only these meatloaf cupcakes look amazing but taste amazing too!

210 calories with potato frosting, 7 smart points, 12 g of protein, 12 g of carbs

217 calories with guacamole frosting, 7 smart points, 12 g of protein, 7 g of carbs

Quick tip – The meatloaf cupcakes can be stored in a refrigerator in a plastic container. If you decide to heat it up the next day – put the cupcake in a toaster or an air fryer and heat it for 2-3 minutes. The mashed potatoes peaks will even turn the beautiful golden brown color. The next day they are so delicious too. I only have 1 left in the fridge and I’m going to eat it up now 🙂 Enjoy!

Meatloaf Cupcakes- for dinner or lunch! So easy to make and everyone loves them!
