I know this might sound crazy, but I'm not the biggest fan of cupcakes. I'm not sure if it's the frosting to cake ratio, but either way, I just prefer other desserts. However, when there is meatloaf in the form of a cupcake, i'm all about it. There is a cute, local place in Lincoln Park called the Meatloaf Bakery. It always caught my eye, but I was a bit skeptical of it at the same time. Justin and I decided to give it a try on Sunday and our tastebuds were pretty impressed.
The Meatloaf Bakery has pretty much thought up every type of meatloaf cupcake you could think of (I didn't even know you could make that many types of meatloaf!). From the Motherloaf, to the Italian-style Loaf-a-Roma, to a Burger Loaf- this bakery pretty much has it all! The meatloaf cupcakes are topped with mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, or some type of fancy addition to make it a complete meal.
The part I love about this place is that even if you feel hesitant to try a whole loaf, they have "loafies" which are miniature versions of the regular loaves. Justin and I tried a few different varieties and it was fun and delicious!
I chose the Herby Turkey Loaf- Lean ground turkey with a blend of spices, garlic, red pepper, fresh herbs, and parmesan cheese. It is topped with a white bread stuffing and a few cranberries. It's pretty much a Thanksgiving dinner!
Justin chose the No Buns About It Burger Loaf- Bacon, cheddar, onions, mustard, ketchup, pickles and beef. It is then topped with some fluffy cheesy potatoes. I liked Justin's the best, but I guess that's how I always am. The grass is always greener on the other side =).
The Meatloaf Bakery creates special loaves for each season so we'll have to stop in again soon to check out the new additions. This turned out to be a perfect take home meal and I suggest you try it out!
Happy Eating=)
