Prep time: 30 minutesIngredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Grease a standard muffin tin.
Combine 1 cup fresh bread crumbs and 1/3 cup milk in a bowl and let stand to allow bread to fully absorb milk.
Sauté 6 oz chopped bacon (about 1 cup) in a frying pan over medium heat for 12 minutes or until beginning to crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper-towel-covered plate.
Chop finely and reserve. Discard all but 1 tbsp fat from pan. Return frying pan to medium heat.
Add 1 cup finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes or until onion has softened. Let cool.
Place 1 lb lean ground beef and ½ lb ground pork in a large bowl, add 1 large egg, 3 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp chopped garlic, reserved bacon, onions and soaked bread crumbs, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine mixture.
Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop meat mixture into prepared muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
Remove mini meat loafs from pan to a rack, spread with Mashed Potato “Icing,” top with a leaf of Italian parsley and serve immediately.
For the Mashed Potato: Drain off water. Return pot with potatoes over low heat to evaporate any water. Add 3 tbsp butter and mash with a potato masher.
Stir in enough cream (about /14 cup) to loosen and season with salt to taste.
