You Will Need (8 things)

  • Meat Ground beef, turkey, etc.)
  • Bread Crumbsor crackers
  • Egg(s)
  • Potatoes
  • Spices (optional)
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Muffin Baking Tin
  • Ziplock Bag

Steps (8 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Set your oven to 325 Degrees F. and prep your meatloaf as you normally would. For mine: 1 lbs. ground turkey, 1 egg, bread crumbs (to make it more formed and you can sub crackers), yummy spices.

  2. 2

    Grease your muffin tin and tightly pack the mixed meat.

  3. 3

    Place the tin in your pre-heated oven (325 degrees F.) for 25-35 minutes. That's me there getting an inferno blast in the face!

  4. 4

    Now for the potatoes. While I love fresh, homemade potatoes; I find that instant potatoes satisfy my starch needs RIGHT AWAY! To help spruce them up though, I save the butter/garlic sauce from a certain pizza joint and use that as a kicky flavor.

  5. 5

    Make sure you check your meat cakes. I rely on my trusty meat thermometer since this was my first go-around and my oven is tempremental.

  6. 6

    Once the patatoes are done put them into a ziploc bag and snip the corner. This serves as a pastry bag would for frosting.

  7. 7

    Pipe the "frosting" (potatoes) on to the fully cooked meat "cakes." Pile 'em high!

  8. 8

    Garnish with spices or if you're really creative veggies and such. Good Eatins!
