The first surprise here: this is what we had for dinner. The second surprise: there's no sugar in these cupcakes and my kids loved them anyway.
Imagine the shock when I served cupcakes for dinner and it got even better when Ben put ketchup on his. I told Emma she could taste the frosting. She looked up at me and said - "hey, this tastes like food". APRIL FOOLS' - no cupcakes here - meatloaf and mashed potatoes, Mmmmmm.
It was a fun little surprise and incredibly easy.
We'll do this again on another silly day.
RECIPE:
Meat Loaf
1 pound lean ground beek
1 packed Lipton golden onion soup mix
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 T ketchup
1 T worcestershire sauce
1 egg
Potato Frosting
3 cups mashed potatoes (instant is easiest)
Food coloring
Heat the oven to 375. Line muffin tin with 12 foil bake cups.
In a large bowl, mix together all meatloaf ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined cups. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until cooked through.
Divide the mashed potatoes among three small bowls and stir a few drops of food coloring into each batch. Spread a generous dollop on each cupcake.
Round it out with some mixed vegetables and enjoy.

I was going to try something like this, but got too lazy. I will have to try your recipe next year.
Okay, so I wasn't really getting it when you explained it to me tues. night! HAA! Funny, very creative! Nice work!
What a great idea Amy! The girls must have loved it. I am with Ben all the way - Ketchup rocks!!!
What a good mom you are! I am going to save your recipe and try it next year.
Ok, that is the BEST idea! And the snow people Ben made are amazing. Isn't it sweet how just spending a little extra time with our kids and they feel like they have had the best day of their life!
Ok you are a regular Martha Stewart! Those are awesome! I am so doing this next year! What a great mom you are!
Those are so cool. I will have to try and pull those off next year. Although Jonah watched my every move when I pull out the cupcake pan....he thinks he will get a lick, I bet he'd be confused.
What a great idea.
That is such a super great idea! I'm going to try that. I copied the recipe, I'm glad that you put it on here. It will be fun to do!
