Apple Meatloaf Cakes with Whipped Potatoes

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

1 Onion, chopped

1C Milk

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!
