Meal in a Muffin Tin

Ladies' Home Journal Adventures in Cooking, by the Editors of Ladies' Home Journal (1968)
Cookbook 16, Recipe 2 (Total 35)

How could I resist a complete meal in a muffin tin? I did replace the 1/3 cup biscuit mix with my own equivalent.

Did I like it? Well... The meat loaf was very dense and the potato a little undercooked. The up-side down cake should have had sugar sprinkled on top. Overall, the amusement of it was worth the less than stellar taste - a once in a lifetime experience.

Recipe:
Meatloaf: Combine 1/2 lb ground lamb, 1 T catsup, 2 T bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp salt and herbs of choice. Divide between two muffin cups.

Potato: Divide a large potato in two. Poke all over with a fork and place each half in a muffin cup.

Up-side down cake: Place 3 canned apricot half's each in two muffin cups. Place 1 tsp brown sugar on top of each along with a 1 tsp lemon juice. In a bowl combine 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar. With a fork smooch in 2 tsp butter. Add 3 T milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Place over apricot halves.

Bake in a 350 oven for 40 minutes.
