This is a rare Would You Eat This wherein I first heard about meatloaf cupcakes, I thought they sounded gross. Then later, after finding this photo I decided they looked delicious!
The "icing" is made of mashed potatoes, and the pink coloring comes from beetroot. Are you loving these as much as I am?

This makes me laugh to no end. My friends and I made meatloaf cupcakes for our friend's brithday as a joke. He gave up sweets for lent, so we hoped these would suffice. But some people are taking these seriously, or so it seems!
1yes! yummy. i'm a huge meatloaf fan!
2Yes, I would eat those and I would love even more to serve them at a party! Meat cupcakes, I love it!
3I love meatloaf, and these are too cute!
4YUMMMM. I want one so bad!
5I'm going to try to make a "healthy" version of these! Yum!!
6I love meatloaf and the presentation cracks me up.
7I'll take meatloaf and potatoes any day of the week, no matter the form!
8Id give them a whirl
9They look so good. Yum, I want some right now.
10ew. Meatloaf is disgusting...I hated it even before I was a vegetarian.
11I love meatloaf but this food switcharoo is too confusing to my brain. I'd still eat it.
12they are a really cute idea...but no meat for me, thanks...
13I made a full-blown 3-tiered meatcake last Thanksgiving for a potluck party (yes, frosted in mashed potato, with an inter-layering of bbq sauce). It was a SMASH hit, and has become something of a calling card for me.
14LOL I saw this when I was 'stumbling' a while ago. I think they look so good. I doubt I would want to eat them with my hands, like a real cupcake, though.
it helps that meatloaf and mashed potatoes are some of my favorite foods.
15Before reading the title, I was like 'those are cute.'
But then I was like EWW! I'm a veggie.
16the bottom part is similiar to a meatball and the side dish is on top.
17I want to make a tofu cupcake. New cooking goal!
18I don't like meatloaf but I'd give these whirl.
19I make meatloaf cupcakes all the time with ground turkey- though I do not add the "icing". My girls love them - my 5 year old calls them "meatcups".
20I don't eat meatloaf (or any red meat) so ick! But I'd totally make them for a party or something else:)
21If it's turkey or chicken meatloaf, I'm all in!
22Cute, but I don't eat meatloaf.
23I make mini-meatloafs in muffin tins all the time and everyone loves them. The "icing" is really the only difference.
24Shoney,
That sounds amazing! Can you share the recipe?
25No thanks. Just gimme meatloaf and mashed potatos...the old fashioned way!
26This is amazing! Perfect for an upcoming potluck. I know I am going to have to label them properly to be sure they don't end up on the dessert table and give someone a not-so-sweet surprise!!
27Just when I thought meatloaf couldn't get more disgusting...
28perfect for kids!
29I would eat them only if they were hot.
30i've been craving meatloaf for weeks! these look delicious!
31I don't like meat in loaf form. I also hate mashed potatoes unless they are instant. I know I'm weird.
32i would try it, but i can't wrap my head around the whole cupcake concept. idk, it's just weird. haha.
33Fuzzles, et al. My meatcake recipe / photo essay is up. Just search for "meatcake".
34These are really cute!
35They look so cute. I'd definitely eat them.
36I would eat those, they look great for a party.
37I have made these, too. I used a combo of turkey and oatmeal to make them a little healthier, with some blue cheese in the potatoes to give them some bite. I'll look for shoney's post to add more.
38I saw these in an April Fools Day Foods page. Clever!
39very cute! i've made meatloaf in cupcake tins but i love the idea of the mashed potato 'frosting'.
40The reject some of you have towards this is how I feel about taco salads, tamale pies (which actually should be written 'tamal pie' if even) and any other mexican food alteration specially the ones that involve cumin...who came up with the idea that something to be called mexican has to have cumin?? anyway...
41I'm vegetarian, but I think this is a really cute and interesting way to serve meatloaf!
42I made something like these for my husband's birthday since he doesn't care for sweets very much. He was thrilled, and now he thinks I'm brilliant!
I must look up Shoneyjoe's "meatcake"!
43I love this idea. I live by myself and hate to do a meatloaf in a pan and have to clean it up and throw out what I don't eat. I am halving the recipe and making cupcakes. This makes a neat meat and potato dish and not so messy! Alto I have to have a side order of mashed potatoes, just icing is not enough. I love the cake icing deal with BBQ sauce this will make a neat dish to take to church suppers. Thanks for the ideas.
44awww these look cute!
45I'm not generally a fan of meatloaf, but if I found a good recipe for the meatloaf, these would be kind of cute for parties and such.
46I make a fajita cupcake that is cute and delicious so I would 100% try this
47aside from the i'm a vegetarian comment that you all knew was coming - i think that i would have to pass on that. there's just something wrong with the concept of meatloaf w/ icing in the form of a cupcake.
48Why not! Great idea for kids or a party!
49the best part of the meatloaf is the part that gets all crusty and yummy next to the pan, so these would be extra yummy.
