How to Make Bbq Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf Cupcake Mashed Potato Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with cooking spray.
- Cook 4 slices bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, place on paper towels to cool, then crumble into pieces.
- In the same skillet, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion in the bacon grease over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 1 large egg, the cooked and crumbled bacon, and the sautéed onions. Mix well to combine.
- Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf cupcakes are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes:
- Peel and chop 2 lbs potatoes. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Drain the potatoes well. Use a potato ricer for the smoothest texture (optional).
- Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. The potatoes should be thick enough to pipe.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe the mashed potato frosting generously onto the cooled meatloaf cupcakes.
