Anybody want a cupcake?  An April Fool’s Day cupcake? Had some fun in the kitchen this morning whipping up these “cupcakes”, they’d be a fun April Fool’s Day dinner for kids.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 cloves garlic, pressed

1 cup ketchup, divided

1 1/2 pounds hamburger

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

2 tablespoons mustard

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 eggs

2 cups mashed potatoes (I used 4 medium sized potatoes and had plenty)

bacon bits

1  Preheat oven to 350, 325 for dark pans.  Spray wells of 12 capacity muffin cup pan.

2  Cook onion, oregano and garlic in olive oil over medium high heat for 2 minutes.

3  Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, hamburger, bread crumbs, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and eggs in a large bowl and mix until well combined.

4  Scoop mixture into muffin cups, filling to top of cups.  Top each meatloaf with about 2 teaspoons of ketchup.  Bake for 25 minutes or until thermometer reaches 160 degrees.

5  Let meatloaves cool in pan for about 15 minutes.  Put mashed potatoes in pastry bag fitted with large circular tip or in a large Ziploc bag with corner cut off.  Pipe potatoes onto tops of meatloaves in circular pattern and sprinkle with bacon bits.
