Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup milk
• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup chopped onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.

Step 4

Fill muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat from muffin cups.

Step 6

Top each 'cupcake' with mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
