Directions

• Get your potatoes cooking first in the garlic water, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.
• While potatoes are cooking combine – ground beef, Italian sausage, onions, bell pepper, eggs and tomatoes in a large bowl. I use my hands**
• Add diced tomatoes and bread crumbs – combine just until incorporated.
• Scoop by small handful into lined cupcake pans, and bake at 350 degrees for twenty minutes. Remove from oven.
• While meatloaf cupcakes are cooking, drain, and mash potatoes with butter, milk, salt and pepper to taste. You may need a little more/less milk depending on the consistency you like your mashed potatoes.
• Add mashed potatoes to a pipping bag or a Ziploc baggie cutting the corner off to use as a pipping bag. Pipe mashed potatoes in a swirl on top of each meatloaf cupcake and return to the oven set to broil. Broil until potatoes are desired color – just a few minutes. Remove and add corn and some fresh basil to the top!
