Try out any veggie you like. \u00a0I mince the vegetables in my food processor so they disappear, and my kids don&#8217;t fight them.<\/li>\n<li>When making the mash for the &#8220;frosting,&#8221; I have used plain old yellow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and have even used cauliflower mash, or a mixture there of.\u00a0 Do what works for your lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li>In the glaze, I like to add some Sriacha (a spicy Thai chili sauce) to pump it up for my husband and I, about a tablespoon mixed in.<\/li>\n<li>This is a meatloaf recipe&#8211;the cupcake idea is not necessary!\u00a0 Bake this as a full loaf or (my favorite way) as mini loaves formed on a cookie sheet for a quicker cooking time and more crispy edges.\u00a0 Adjust cooking times accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>This meal freezes well!\u00a0 Once you have the meatloaf prepared, freeze in mini loaves, or in a container and thaw when ready to use.<\/li>\n<li>Meatloaf cupcakes are a great lunchbox main course!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24622 size-full\" title=\"Meatloaf Cupcakes with Paleo and Egg Free Options at The Happy Housewife\"
