In our house, we always make our meatloaf in muffin tins, my family loves them. I saw these Mummy Meat Loaves and knew this was what we were having for dinner on Halloween. I found these over at Woman’s Day.
You can use your favorite meat loaf recipe or the one below. The WD recipe also requires you to make your mashed potatoes from scratch, but you can get away with instant potatoes.
Recipe Ingredients
Kosher salt and pepper
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup panko or plain bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
3/4 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
12 grape tomatoes
24 frozen peas, thawed
Recipe Preparation
- Heat oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil liners. Place the potatoes in a pot, add enough cold water to cover and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp salt, reduce heat and simmer until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper; stir in the bread crumbs. Add the garlic and carrot and mix to combine. Add the beef and pork and mix just until incorporated. Divide the meat mixture among the foil liners and push a tomato into the center of each one. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the meat registers 155F, 14 to 16 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sour cream and 1/4 tsp salt and mash until very smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-in. ribbon tip (Wilton 104). Transfer the meat loaves to a platter and pipe the potatoes back and forth over each top to resemble a mummy’s wrapping. Place 2 peas on each for eyes.
How cool is this for a spooky supper?
