Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrot, grated and chopped
• black pepper, to taste
• salt, to taste
• 1 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg white
• 1.25 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup chives, finely minced
• 6-8 Yukon gold potatoes
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups Cabot Alpine Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 1/4 tsp salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and 1 tsp of the Worcestershire sauce. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet and saute the garlic and carrot until the carrots are soft. Season with salt and pepper, and add the remaining 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Add to a large bowl. Pour the breadcrumbs, milk, dried parsley, and onion powder to the bowl. Add the eggs, egg white, beef, and 2 Tbsp of the ketchup mixture. Use your hands to combine everything together well. Divide the mixture into the mini muffin tins. Form each portion into a small ball and pat down into the muffin tin, leaving the top domed. Spoon a bit of the remaining ketchup mixture over the top of each cup and spread evenly. Reserve the remaining sauce to serve on the side. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked. Scrub & peel the potatoes and dice. Add water to cover and boil until soft, about 10-15 minutes. Add the milk, cheese, salt and pepper and mash until smooth. Top with the mashed potatoes, a sprinkle of cheese and some chopped chives!
