Meatloaf is a favorite in this house and we make it often. I started seeing meatloaf cupcakes all over the internet a while back and I finally got a chance to try them out with my meatloaf recipe. I don’t think I will make meatloaf any other way again! One thing I love about meatloaf is it can be different every time you make it, depending upon the ingredients you have around. You can use any veggie you want. Carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms, celery, or peppers, you name it, you like it, you put it in. Lol. I didn’t have any mushrooms on hand this time around but it usually is a staple in my meatloaf. This is one way you can sneak veggies into your kid (and hubby) without them even knowing! This recipe made 19 meatloaf cupcakes. If you add more veggies or a little more meat you could easily stretch it out. I haven’t tried freezing them yet. But I imagine they would freeze nicely. Defrost and add mashed potatoes. Sounds like a great quick meal to me. The question is will my husband eat them all before I get to freeze them? We shall see! Lol
