Meat and carrots cupcakes
Meat and carrots cupcakes
Did you ever try meat and carrots cupcakes? No? Then, you are in the right place! I am ready to give you the best recipe…. When you want to prepare a ground meat dish for lunch or dinner would be tasty for kids also, simple and easy to make, you “go online,” Pinterest, etc. There are so many choices and kinds of recipes. Also, different types of spices and ingredients or seasoning to add. And the base is beef. But what about beef and pork mixed? And, what can we prepare from it? Goulash? No, there are many steps and takes longer to make. Or, meatloaf? No, it takes too long. What about meat and carrots cupcake? Takes prepare only 30-40 minutes from beginning to the end. Also, simple to make and tasty to eat for kids and adults.
But why do we need to mix beef and pork? The answer is straightforward: mix meat becomes more robust (better texture), soft and juicy also tender: especially when we add vegetables: carrots or potatoes, even squash or pumpkin. Zucchini is the right choice too.
I like to prepare meat and carrots cupcakes for my grandkids. They don’t like vegetables to eat so, and I hide them in the meat. The size of the cakes is perfect, not too small and not too big. And,they can hold and pretend they are eating sweet cupcakes. Also, the ideal size of meat and carrots cupcakes for lunch even for weekend parties as appetizers.
But the most important thing: they are amazingly simple to prepare.

Meat and carrots cupcakes
Ingredients:
First, we need:
Beef 1.5lb
Pork 1.5lb
And:
Eggs 2 large
Also:
Broth 1 cup
And:
Onions 0.7 oz ( chopped)
Garlic 1 clove
In addition:
Seasoning 1 tsp
Salt a pinch
And:
Black pepper a pinch
Also:
Carrots 0.5 oz ( grated)
Also, you need:
A cutting board, knives and,four different sizes of bowls. Also,12 cupcake pan. ( 8 or 6)
Workflow for meat and carrots cupcakes
First, beat the eggs.
Second, chop onions and garlic.
Next, mix beef and pork.
Then, add seasoning, salt, and black peppers to the meat.
After that, add chopped onions and garlic. Also, beaten eggs and broth. Mix very well for a good two minutes.
Finally, add grated carrots and mix well.
Besides:
TIP: mixing the meat well and other ingredients make the meat tender.
TIP: adding broth makes the meat juicy.
TIP: beaten eggs make the meat softer.
TIP: you can substitute carrots with other kinds of vegetables: potatoes, squash or pumpkin also zucchini.
Forming the cupcakes
When you mix the meat well, make a ball. Take a little bit of meat and form a ball. Put that ball to the pancake pan. Fill in all pan holes.
Then, preheat oven to 450F and bake for 15 – 20 min.
Besides:
TIP: dip fingers in the water when you make balls; otherwise, the meat will stick to your fingers.
TIP: you don’t have to use a 12 cupcake pan. Just substitute with 8 or 6. Then you need to bake cupcakes a little longer ( around 5 -7 min. longer)
Finally:
First, place the meat and carrots cupcakes on the plate and add boiled potatoes ( mashed or french fries is a good option too). Also, if you don’t like potatoes than switch to white or brown rice. Then, add vegetables: coleslaw and green beans or sweet peas even asparagus. I like to serve meat and carrot cupcakes with tomato-cucumber salad.
you need:
Tomatoes 1 medium size
Cucumber 2 medium size
And
Onions 0.3 oz. (chopped)
Salt a pinch
Black pepper a pinch ( ground)
In addition:
Olive oil drizzle ( any oil is OK)
or
Italian dressing
or
Sour cream( drizzle)
workflow:
First, cut tomatoes in squares
Second, slice cucumber
Then, add chopped onion and pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
After that, mix everything.
Finally, drizzle sour cream and mix again.
TIP: if you don’t want to use sour cream, substitute to Italian dressing you don’t need to add salt and peppers.
In conclusion:
This recipe is basic. In short, you can create adding ketchup on the top or even use BBQ sauce. Also, cheese is a perfect choice too. Usually, I use American yellow cheese.
Also, I like to switch around a different kind of spices: basil and cumin, or curry powder. I like oregano and parsley as well. You can even add a pinch of cayenne pepper ( for spicy food lovers).
BON APPETITE!

Wow, interesting dish name 🙂 I have been know and eat some cupcake. It’s a dessert.
Hi Jidrone, I’m from Viet Nam, and our cuisine also has one dish similar to you. The dish also used ground meat. We usually mix from ground pork meat and scattered fish fillet. Sometimes, I am lazy, so I just use pure ground pork meat and round it as a meatball hihi.
About your workflow 🙂 I have my way so I don’t know it will fit you or not.
If I were you and I made this dish.
While I mix the ground meat together and mold until it’s stick together, I will use a little butter on the cupcake pan -> put it in the stove in advance a little bit for heating. I still follow your instruction about seasoning, adding the carrot, chop white onion and garlic.
Oh oh,` sometimes I see my aunt adds some wood ear mushroom into the meat mixing too. Sometimes, my aunt just adds two yorks to the mixing meat.
About your tip “dip fingers in the water when you make balls”, I will follow my aunt. She usually uses the cooking oil while she formes the meat. Oil can prevent the meat from sticky to your fingers better than water.
Hehe, I can describe in detail because I cook a similar dish before. These days, I don’t eat ground meat anymore. If I cook this dish again, I will choose white rice. Maybe I will put some ketchup into the meatball 🙂
Hello Gnecoda, everybody has their way how to cook, but my advice not to put butter to cupcake pan, unless you like very greasy food. About the tip: actually, it is no matter where you dip your fingers – in the water or oil. In the final result, we need to have not sticky fingers.
I wonder if I could sneak the carrot past my husband with this recipe…..I am going to try!
Thanks for the inspiration
Great Idea
Hi, this looks very yummy. I’m not real good with making new things. Specially when it’s not rice and chicken but this looks so yummy I am very tempted to try. You made it easy to follow too! Also, thanks for adding pics! It makes me crave it even more! Hopefully my family will like it. They are picky eaters… Thanks again!
Of course you can put meat balls in a cupcake tray and bake them. I never though of doing that – You saved me so much time! I love how much spice you use, and that the entire dish take about 30 – 40 min to prepare.
I really do love the idea of cupcake tray, hahaha. Do you also have a meatless variation of this recipe, Or do you have any suggestion what to use instead of meat?
Thank you for your help,
Katya
You gave me a new idea!
Bon appetite
Hmm, a foodie like me will definitely want to try this yummy appetizer out. Am I right with the word ‘appetizer’? Can one use another type of meat apart from pork meat? Am kind of selective when it comes to meat. Am a nutritionist and also a learner. I have made different yummy cupcakes for sale and for my family. I want to try this carrot and meat cupcake out as well. I like it short preparation. Thanks for this recipes.
Of cause, you can use any meat.
Hi Jidrone,
It looks very delicious.. specially the cupcakes. Also your workflow. I just love beef😍. Its very much new to me to know that pork meat can be mixed with beef and it becomes more robust. Moreover the idea to feed children vagetables is amazing😃. We also eat various beef and vegetable food items as our evening snacks. will it be wise if I add Spinach or The bar along with the squash or pumkins to make the cupcakes more tasty? or the taste will be altered?? What would be happend if I use mutton with beef instead of pork?
Finally it will be yummy I think to have such foods. Keep giving us deliciois ideas of foods like this. Thank you..☺
Sure, you can use mutton, veal or beef instead of pork, also you can add potatoes, squash, pumpkin instead of carrots. One more thing: you can mix carrots and potatoes and add to meat.
Wow, interesting dish name!
Accept my thanks for writing a great post of Meat and carrots cupcakes. Your post is full of health information. I am a spices loving person I love to try new spices dishes from different regions. I was born into a Muslim family. I am a Muslim. This recipe if I try, only beef meat variation of Or do you have any suggestions about what to use instead of meat? I’m a beginner on this dish and you seem to be very knowledgeable about them. Do you have any information that you could give me a beginner on this dish?
It would be very much appreciated! I will try to keep the cupcake in my food recipe.
You can use veal instead of pork. Add a little bit of oil in every cupcake pan hole ( protect sticking meat to the pan).
This is a great invention. It reminds me a little of meatloaf and salisbury steak. I’m sure with some gravy these would be really good. Thanks for sharing this, I will be trying this recipe at home since I have a little one who also likes carrots. This could be a win for the recipe folder. I’ll be coming back for more inspiration for family dinners.
Hello Jidrone,
l am a food lover. I love desert, sweet, snacks, meat, chicken, all kind of vegetables but dislike carrots. But your cupcakes look like so much yummy and delicious. I would like to try it. I will make it at my home today. Hopefully my all family members will like it. I’ve made a variety of cupcakes before. But your recipe is unique which is made from carrots and meat. Can I use white peppers in it?
you can use any vegetables: potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, squash, bell peppers instead of carrots.
Interesting, I’ve only known cupcakes as dessert. This recipe has given me some ideas for my own savory cupcakes. I also didn’t know that you had to bake cupcakes longer if you used a smaller pan. That explains a lot about my past cupcake baking experiences, haha. I will certainly remember your tip about the cupcake pans.
Christine, If you want to use a bigger baking pan (6 or 8) you should bake a little longer than 12 baking pan.
Wow this looks so good! Thank you so much for the pictures, and the easy to follow instructions. I am a visual learner so any recipe with pictures is a win for me! You made it so easy and have broken it down step by step. I can’t wait to try these! Thank you 🙂
