Ingredients

MEAT LOAF
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 egg

1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
POTATO FROSTING
3 cups mashed potatoes
Food coloring

Instructions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin tin cups with foil bake cups.

In a large bowl, mix together all of the meat loaf ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined cups (the liners should be about three quarters full).

Place the filled muffin tins on cookie sheets and bake the cupcakes for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Divide the mashed potatoes among three small bowls and stir a few drops of food coloring into each batch to create blue, yellow, and pink pastel frostings. Spread a generous dollop on each cupcake. Makes 12 cupcakes.

    Haha if you want a food *prank* do (instead of caramel apples) caramel onions! give them to someone as a *treat*, wait 3 seconds, and get ready for the best facial expression ever! ;D

    One could always go for the old King Atreus / Titus Andronicus / Eric Cartman make them eat their own parents or children trick. The trick is to disguise them as chili.
