Kitchen Adventure: Meatloaf Cupcakes

It is no secret that I love cupcakes, and I have been looking forward to trying this savory cupcake. A meatloaf "cake" with a baked homemade ketchup crust, and mashed potato icing sprinkled with chives and bacon.

 

Cupcake recipe can be found here.  The homemade ketchup recipe is a modernized version of this. I made this ketchup in a make-it-work moment. I realized I was a half cup short on this recipe and had to make something quick. 

Homemade Ketchup:

1 can of diced tomatoes

1/2 onion diced

2 cloves of garlic

1 Tb of brown sugar

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

 Puree in blender, and add to a sauce pot on the stove. Then add the following spices, and cook for 45 minutes.

pinch of cayenne

pinch of celery salt

pinch dry mustard

pinch ground cloves

pinch ground ginger

pinch gound cinnamon

salt and pepper
