1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2️⃣ Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

3️⃣ Form the Meatloaf Cupcakes:
Press the meat mixture into muffin tins, filling each cup to the top.

4️⃣ Bake the Meatloaf Cupcakes:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked through.

5️⃣ Whip the Potatoes:
While the meatloafs bake, whip the mashed potatoes until they’re light, fluffy, and creamy.

6️⃣ Assemble the Cupcakes:
Once the meatloafs are done, let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tins.

7️⃣ Pipe the Whipped Potatoes:
Use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe the whipped potatoes onto each meatloaf cupcake, creating a swirl on top.

8️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped chives for a pop of color and serve warm.
