Ingredients

For mini meatloaves:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 1/4 lb 90/10 ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (or ketchup)
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

For mashed potato topping (if making homemade):

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (approximately 2-3 potatoes)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp 1% milk

Additional topping ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of peas (or corn)

Instructions

To make mini meatloaves:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and mushroom for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and set aside for now.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with a little olive oil or cooking spray, and set aside.
  • Combine the beef, egg, oats, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and mushroom/egg mixture in a large bowl. Divide equally in the muffin tin, pressing down.
  • Cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until they hit an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing.

To make mashed potato topping:

  • Meanwhile, as the meatloaf cooks, prepare your mashed potatoes (either boxed or homemade).
  • If making the homemade mashed potatoes, peel and chop the potatoes into one-inch chunks. Place in a pot and fill with water until potatoes are just covered.
  • Place on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Turn off heat.
  • Drain water from the pot, and place the pot with the cooked potatoes back on the stovetop. Add the butter and allow to just sit (without heat) for a few minutes until the butter has melted.
  • Start to mash the potatoes with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Add the salt, yogurt, and milk, and continue to mash until the potatoes reach your desired texture.

To assemble:

  • Scoop the mashed potato into a large ziptop bag and cut off one corner (or use a pastry bag if you have one). Pipe potato filling onto mini meatloaves to make it look like a mummy’s wrapping.
  • Add two peas or corn kernels for eyes. Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
  • Don’t try to remove the meatloaf from the muffin tin right away; let it cool for 5-10 minutes first. This will prevent it from crumbling and falling apart.
  • If you want, you can use foil liners in your muffin tin to make it quick and easy to remove the mini meatloaves.
