Sloppy Joes & Mashed Potato Cups
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 3 – 3 1/2 cup sloppy joe meat (leftovers, homemade, made with sauce from a can – whatever you prefer)
- 2 lb potatoes
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Shredded or sliced cheese
Instructions
- Cube potatoes and boil until tender; drain. Return potatoes to pot. Mash with butter. Stir in sour cream, salt & pepper. The potatoes will be much heavier than regular mashed potatoes, but that helps them stick together better in the cups.
- Grease muffin tins (this will probably make about 12 – 18 cups). Press about 2 -3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes into each muffin cup, leave a hollow spot in the center. Add about 1/4 c. sloppy joe mixture into each potato cup. Cover each cup with cheese and bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted and everything is heated through.
Notes
Note: It is easiest to scoop these out with a spoon. They will not come out like perfect little cups, but rather like mounds. If you want to freeze these, just scoop them out onto foil lined cookie sheets and freeze until frozen. Then transfer to freezer bags.
