Meatloaf Cupcakes

Recently I was house sitting for my cousin in Washington DC.  I was inspired to create this provocative meal from a photo my sister in-law sent.  Great idea for portion control.

The big decision I had to make was whether to go for a more bread-like base or a true meaty base.  Being the carnivore that I am, I went for meaty.  I was thinking it would be a meal not just filler.  Try using sweet potatoes or add garlic to the mashed potatoes.   Kids would love these don’t you think?

Dracu-kin

Holding vampire teeth closed, trace a line around them onto the pumpkin. Use a pumpkin saw to remove the area and enough of the inside for teeth to sit like in picture. Trim 2 red pushpins. Stick them in for eyes.
