Cupcakes are always a good idea. If savory is more your style, these meatloaf "cupcakes" are perfect! Sweetened with apple and brown sugar, but perfectly savory with onion and Worcestershire.
RECIPE:
1.5 Lb LEAN Ground Beef
1Egg
1 Onion, chopped
1C Milk
1T Worcestershire
1C crushed Cheez-its
3/4 Apple Shredded
1 Garlic Clove, minced
S&P to taste
3 C Prepared Mashed potatoes (Whipped with NO lumps)
1/2 C Apple Chipotle BBQ Sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients until well mixed.
2. Grease a cupcake pan and fill each cup with the meat mixture. Fill to the tops.
3. Set smoker to (350F) ( I used Maple Pellets) *You can also make these in your oven*
4. Cook for about 25 min or until cooked through. remove from pan and place on serving tray.
5. Place the warm Mashed Potatoes into a piping bag and pipe into the top of the meat cakes.
6. Drizzle with the BBQ sauce and garnish with apple slices.
* I put mine on the grill for a second to give them grill lines*
These make a great appetizer, and a really fun entree!
