Put away the birthday candles and the ice cream, 'cause this "cake" is a meaty main course, "iced" with mashed potatoes!
What You'll Need
- 2 to 2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 cup ketchup, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup warm mashed potatoes
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Coat a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, 1 cup ketchup, the eggs, salt, and pepper; mix well. Place in the prepared pan. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup over the top of the meat.
- Bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours, or until the juices run clear; drain off any liquid. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then place on a serving platter.
- "Frost" the meat with the mashed potatoes and garnish the bottom edge with the cherry tomato halves.
Notes
Feel free to decorate this "cake" any way you like. Sometimes I drizzle beef gravy over the mashed potato frosting to look like chocolate glaze. (Hee hee!)
