- Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing down gently to form the cupcakes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf cupcakes are cooked through and golden brown on top.
- While the meatloaf cupcakes are baking, prepare the mashed potatoes according to your preferred recipe.
- Once the meatloaf cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- To assemble, top each meatloaf cupcake with a dollop of mashed potatoes and decorate with steamed vegetables. Drizzle with gravy, if desired.
- Serve the meatloaf cupcakes warm and enjoy!
