Meatloaf Cupcakes!

Recently I worked for a cupcake cafe and on top of that cupcakes have become a big hit in the past year.  A new trend you could say.  So I thought I could get a ride on the cupcake train.  *Lame joke I know.*  A few years ago my mother made meatloaf muffins.  Just her basic recipe for meatloaf but put it in muffin tins so it be a easier to grab and go dinner.  The recipe is as followed but with some minor changes and even a "Frosting" you could say.

2.25 ibs of Hamburger
2 Tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp BBQ/ more for toppings
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 cups bread crumbs
2 1/2 cups Milk
2 Eggs
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/2 cup minced onion.

Topping:
Mashed potatoes about three or four cups
Cheese of your liking

1.Preheat oven to 350.
2. Easy way of doing it is just putting it all in a big bowl and mixing it with your hands.
3. Take a small amount and put it in a muffin pan so its about three fourth full.  Make a small indent in the middle of the meat and pour some BBQ sauce in the middle.  Just till you fill the indent.  I used my thumb for the indent.
4. Place into oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.  Pull out and place cheese on top, cool.
5.  After pulling the meatloaf out of the muffin pan, place them on a plate and scoop mash potatoes on top.  I just used a spoon and took as much as I wanted and scraped it off with the back of another spoon.  End results is a sweet meatloaf cupcake.  They were a big hit with the guys at my work!
P.s I know in the pictures it has the cheese on top of the mash potatoes.  I wanted to change it so the cheese has a chance to melt and be gooey.
