April Fool’s Day Meat Loaf

APRIL FOOL’S DAY MEAT LOAF

Meat Loaf
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Potato Frosting
3 cups mashed potatoes
Food coloring

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin tin cups with foil bake cups.

In a large bowl, mix together all of the meat loaf ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined cups (the liners should be about three quarters full).

Place the filled muffin tins on cookie sheets and bake the cupcakes for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Divide the mashed potatoes among three small bowls and stir a few drops of food coloring into each batch to create blue, yellow, and pink pastel frostings. Spread a generous dollop on each cupcake. Makes 12 cupcakes.

Haylee’s Note:
These cupcakes were so fun to make, and they actually tasted REALLY good!! Darin ate like 8 of them in one sitting! However, he didn’t think that they were real cupcakes because I said that we were going to have dessert first! It will be fun to do again when the kids get a little older! Enjoy!
