Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 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

Mashed Potatoes

  • 6 large potatoes, peeled, cubed
  • 1/4 cup herb butter
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 18 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix Meatloaf ingredients until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, pressing mixture down firmly.
  • 3
    Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F. Cool slightly in muffin cups.
  • 4
    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.
  • 5
    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.

  • If you cannot find herb butter in your market, use 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs such as basil, parsley or oregano with the 1/4 cup butter. If you are using dried herbs, use only 1 teaspoon.
  • If you do not have a decorating bag, substitute a resealable food-storage plastic bag and cut off one bottom corner.
  • If you would like your potatoes to have a little texture, once you have piped the potatoes onto the meatloaves, place the muffin pans under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • You can use foil muffin cups to line the pans for easy removal of the meatloaves, if desired.
