Yes. I am on a fat-kick I guess. Needing the comfort of comfort foods, or something. What comfort food list doesn't include macaroni and cheese? Well, mine definitely have to include it!
Here's a no-muss idea for macaroni and cheese muffins that makes clean up super-duper easy. You can use your favorite cheese - I like to add different ones but I always use cream cheese (since you are baking them, it keeps them from getting as dry)
Ingredients
8 ounces elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus a little more for garnish
1/2 cup of cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper or foil liners.
2. Cook the macaroni until done. Drain and immediately return to pot.
3. Add cheese and stir briefly until almost melting.
4. Beat eggs into milk, and then pour mixture into macaroni. Mix well.
5. Ladle macaroni mixture into muffins tins, and bake for 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
6. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.
