Jo vs. The Pin: Meatloaf Cupcakes!
I don't eat any meat, but my kid and J. sure do!
I keep seeing all these wonderful pictures of people making "Meatloaf Cupcakes" so decided to give it a whirl.
It's tough making meat dishes for Z. when J is away, so I generally stick to vegetarian protein options, but since I can make a batch and freeze a bunch, this seemed like a great idea!
I have to say these were SO easy! The hardest part was cleaning up!! I just used my regular meatloaf recipe, then baked @400 for 20 minutes!
Z. LOVED them, and they are a perfect size for lunches!!
