Time 1h10m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggs, beaten
2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 cup Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
6 large potatoes, peeled, cubed
1/4 cup herb butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 18 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, mix Meatloaf ingredients until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, pressing mixture down firmly.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F. Cool slightly in muffin cups.
  • While loaves are baking, in 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes in generously salted cold water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook potatoes until fork-tender. Drain; return to saucepan. Add butter and 1/4 cup milk; mash until creamy and smooth, adding more milk as necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Make sure mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth so they can be piped onto meatloaves.
  • Place potatoes in 10-inch decorating bag without tip. Starting at outside of loaf and in circular motion, pipe potatoes onto each meatloaf. If desired, garnish with additional parsley. Remove from muffin cups.
