Meatloaf Cups topped with Mashed Potatoes
Meatloaf Cups. Genius! Meatloaf on bottom + mashed potatoes on top = whole meal in a cup. My daughter came across a picture of meatloaf topped with mashed potatoes in a cup and asked if I thought I could make it. Duh! Pretty easy right?
I made a modified version of My Meatloaf and baked them in a cupcake pan, liners optional. Then cheated, of course, and made instant mashed potatoes. Spooned some on top and there you have it. I was going to make homemade mashed taters, like I have for many years, but I wasn’t feeling great and I had to use the meat up and not chance it going bad. So, I sucked it up and made the meal for her. She’s welcome 😉
I took it just one step further and added some brown gravy. This was easy to do. In this recipe, I used 1/2 packet of brown gravy mix. So, all I did was take the other half and combine it with 1/2 cup of water. Cooked in on the stove as directed. You can also cook the gravy mix in the microwave. But I was waiting on the potatoes anyway…why not?
Look at that. You’re whole meal in one bite. I should have mixed in some corn. I mean, corn and mashed potatoes & gravy just have to be mixed. Who else eats it that way?
Do you ever combine your food? What’s your favorite combo?
