A meatloaf cupcake is a balanced and complete dinner that fits in the palm of your hand. It’s topped with a fancy mound of mashed potato that looks just like frosting. This is one dinner that’s as adorable as it is edible!

Recipe creator Nagi, of RecipeTin Eats, points out that it’s easy to hide some extra vegetables in the meatloaf. Your kids will be so charmed by the shape, they won’t notice the difference!

Cupcakes are also quicker and easier to cook than traditional meatloaf. What’s not to love?
