MEAT LOAF CUPCAKES WITH MASHED POTATOES<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n1 pound extra lean ground beef
\n1\/2 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
\n1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
\n1 cup shredded carrots
\n1 cup tomato pasta sauce
\n1\/2 cup water
\n2 Eggs
\n1\/2 cup finely chopped onion
\n1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
\n1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon pepper
\n6 (3\/4-ounce) slices deli cheddar cheese<\/p>\n

Potato Topping:
\n1 1\/4 cups water
\n6 (3\/4-ounce) slices deli cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
\n2 cups mashed potatoes whipped with butter and milk
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Directions:
\n1. Heat oven to 450\u00b0F. Spray 12 cup muffin pan with no-stick cooking spray. Place muffin pan onto 9 x 13 inch baking pan; set aside.
\n2. Combine all meatloaf ingredients except cheese slices in large bowl; mix well. Stack 6 cheese slices. Cut into 4 even strips; then cut across into thirds to create 12 small square stacks of cheese.
\n3. Shape about 1\/3 cupfuls meatloaf mixture into 12 (2 1\/2-inch) balls. Press 1 stack cheese into center of each ball, covering evenly with meat mixture so cheese is in center. Place stuffed meatloaf mixture into muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature is at least 165\u00b0F and meat is no longer pink.
\n4. Meanwhile, combine left over mashed potatoes and 6 cheese quarters and cook over medium-high heat until cheese is melted. Top each cupcake with about 3 tablespoons potato mixture over each meatloaf; sprinkle with paprika, if desired.<\/p>\n
