Mac N Cheese Bites

Mac N Cheese Bites 

It's hard to find something to make for a family when you have kids that all don't like the same thing. I have this struggle with three kids everyday! I don't like making three different meals because they all want to eat something different! Everyone loves Mac N Cheese! 


What you will need 

• 8 oz elbows 
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese ( Shredded) 
• 2 oz. Cream Cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 egg 
• mini muffin pan
• non stick spray 

Turn Oven on 400 and Spray the Mini Muffin Pan with the Non Stick Spray. Make sure you get it really good so it don't stick bottom on muffin pan. I failed at this on few bad idea. 

Okay, now we need to start cooking 

Boil the noddles till they are nice and soft. Why are are doing this add the 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour and mix it into a RUE. Now a RUE if like me I had no clue what that is so you tube became my best friend for this. 

We take a pan over heat and start mixing want make sure not using metal on metal for this wooden spoon or a whisk would work awesome. You have make sure you keep mixing we want no clumps. At this point if you have a child that likes help have them help you!!! they can keep mixing. Once you have it mixed and has some color you can add more butter or flour if you wish to have more cheesy. It's all up you're family taste buds! 

Now once that done you add the milk keep mixing it didn't say you could stop yet! 

Than add 1 1/2 cup cheese mix that all together along with the 2 oz cream cheese and don't forget the salt and pepper. 

Off to the side mix a 1 egg beaten in a separate bowl we don't want add it to the heat because we don't want scrambled eggs! That be bad! 

Drain the noddles put in a mixing bowl add the egg and Sauce mix all together mix around really good.

Once that's done taste it! 

Now this point you can add Bacon bits mix in if like however my kids PICKY so only few get Bacon bits. If you think anything else want add like hot dogs cut up really small works really well also. 

Now you take you're muffin pan make sure you spray it earlier with the non stick! 

Scoop away into the muffin pan and push down on the noddles in each one. Take the extra cheese you have and Sprinkle over top add lots cheese little cheese its Mac N Cheese so just depends on you're taste. 

Now stick it in over for about 15 minutes at 400 or until top is golden brown on top.

It all depends on you're oven mine 400 it could be done in 10 minutes sometimes! 

Now once its Golden brown pull it out let it cool off. 

Now if you have left overs you can repeat for the oven or save the left overs in case someone don't want the muffin normally one kids will not want the muffin how it always ends up at my house! 

You should be able take a spoon or fork and come right out muffin pan! Yes some will fall apart we are not Martha Stewart who makes it perfect every time! 

These Mac a Cheese Bites are great for just some snack or to add with dinner! It's real home made Mac N Cheese instead of the box kind with powder!  

Hope you enjoy!!
