How to Make 35 Minute Yummy Easy Meatloaf Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a 1 ½-quart casserole dish, combine 6 tablespoons melted margarine, 2 cups hot water, ⅔ cup milk, 4 cups (about 1 lb) instant mashed potato flakes, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
In a medium bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 large egg, and 1 packet of your favorite meatloaf seasoning mix until thoroughly combined.
Press the beef mixture into 12 ungreased regular-sized muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Arrange the mini meatloaves on top of the potato mixture in the casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the meatloaves are no longer pink in the center and the potatoes are heated through.
Carefully remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite ketchup or other desired toppings.
