    Mac and Cheese Muffins

    I was reading some wonderful blogs and while I was at Bella Baker, I discovered her recipe for Mac and Cheese Cups. Adorable is the best description. Cute appetizer. Delight for the little ones and the adults, too. A fun food for all.

    Of course, I made this delightful recipe and loved it. Hubby loved it too.

    Method:

    Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin generously with cooking spray, set aside.

    In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Melt remaining butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, whisking, 1 minute.

    While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.

    Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, set cheese sauce aside.

    Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.)

    Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce

    Pour mixture into individual muffin tins, filling all the way to the top.

    Sprinkle paprika on top.

    Bake until browned on top, about 25 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 15 minutes; carefully remove from muffin tins and serve.
