It is time for what is to be my weekly Thursday posting: ARTISTIC EDIBLES

yes, every Thursday I will attempt to come up with a fantastic, artistic, colorful recipe that will be as delicious as it is fun!

This is a recipe for meatloaf cupcakes! Yes it is true! When you look at them, they look just like sweet cupcakes! That is because you cook the meatloaf in foil cupcake wrappers and the "icing" is whipped potatoes with food coloring in them! AWESOME! Take them to an opening or to a friends potluck and watch everyones faces as they bite into delicious meatloaf! :)

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Meat Loaf
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Potato Frosting
3 cups mashed potatoes
Food coloring
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin tin cups with foil bake cups. 2. In a large bowl, mix together all of the meat loaf ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined cups (the liners should be about three quarters full). 3. Place the filled muffin tins on cookie sheets and bake the cupcakes for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. 4. Divide the mashed potatoes among three small bowls and stir a few drops of food coloring into each batch to create blue, yellow, and pink pastel frostings. Spread a generous dollop on each cupcake. Makes 12 cupcakes.
