I recently made Mac & Cheese Muffins for a party that we had at our house. These mac and cheese muffins are so easy to make, and they taste great. Mac & Cheese Muffins are the perfect side dish for any party, the holidays, or even a weeknight meal.
First you make the mac and cheese. Then you add muffin cups to a muffin tin. Then you add the mac and cheese and sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. That is it, and you have an easy and delicious side dish or meal.

Mac and Cheese Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz. Elbow Macaroni
8 oz. Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 tsp. Cornstarch
1 cup Milk
1 Egg
1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tsp. Melted Butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place liners in a muffin pan and spray with cooking spray. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Drain and return to the pan. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Whisk together the cornstarch, egg, milk, and pour over the macaroni and mix. Fill each cup with the macaroni mixture. Combine the butter and breadcrumbs and mix well. Divide crumb mixture evenly over each muffin cup. Bake for 20 minutes.
NOTE: I did not have panko bread crumbs, so I used Italian style bread crumbs instead. I also added in some shredded mozzarella cheese. I doubled up my recipe to accommodate for a large party.
I found this recipe on Pinterest and you can find the recipe HERE.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and it keeps portion control too lol!!!! I love Mac and Cheese and rarely make it because with just the two of us I end up eating it all. So this is a great idea for freezing them. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week end.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and easy recipe!!! Thank you for sharing this on the Art of Home-Making Mondays Julie! :)
ReplyDeleteHello mac & cheese muffins! I am definitely going to do this. Like everyone else said it gives you a little portion control if you can resist eating more than one. Make it a little fancier. Any excuse to use Panko is great to me. :)

Oh, this is a fun idea; I imagine it would make a crazy good leftover option, too! Thanks for linking with us at Throwback Thursday last week and sorry I didn't get by earlier to comment!
