So I don't know what the weather has been like where you live, but here it has been gloomy, rainy, and oddly warm. I can totally handle a day or two of this, but it's been like five days and my get up and go never even showed up! I have been kind of putting around doing that bare minimum around the house, but the maximum to justify the 10$ a month for Netflix.
So yesterday time kind of got away from me in the form of a binge on Stranger Things, so i didn't get to start cooking until the after I had the older two picked up. However, my daughter was excited we got to spend some time together so it worked out.
Meatloaf Cupcakes
Ingredients
2 pounds ground chuck
1 pound ground sausage (we like country style because it gives it a little kick!)
1 pack of Meatloaf seasoning (That's right, I just buy the pack. Don't you judge me, it tastes delicious)
1 egg
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Thoroughly spray a muffin tin with non stick spray
Combine all your ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to mix them all together
Pull out the meat in ball shapes and put them into the muffin cups
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, depending on your "cupcake" size.
So depending on your routine these cupcakes can be made and frozen in advance (I'd suggest a disposable tin though, it would take up less space)
Or you can make them in the morning, stick in the fridge, and throw them in the oven when you get home.
As far as the "icing" if you don't like boxed potatoes but don't want to take the time to peel the potatoes (They take about 30 minutes start to finish for me if I'm hustling) Ketchup makes an awesome icing.
Spray your muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick spray
Combine melted butter and brown sugar
Divide evenly among 20 muffin cups
So next you are going to take your muffin slices and press them into the cups and onto the mixture. Heres what happened to me.
Pour a little less than 1/3 of a cup of the cake mixture on top of your fruit
Bake for 20-25 minutes
