I am a huge fan of a homemade macaroni and cheese. I have had so many different versions of macaroni and cheese, but this is one that just keeps everyone asking for more.
With only a few spices and different twist on the cheese, this homemade macaroni and cheese muffin cups recipe will soon be a favorite of your as well.
Here is what you will need for the recipe:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) I like to use whole grain.
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup Stella Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup Stella Asiago cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt (separate into 1/2 tsp)
- 2 tsp pepper
Heat the oven to 350. Take a muffin tin and prepare it. Take a medium sized pot and boil water with 1/2 tsp of salt. Once boiling, add elbow macaroni and cook for 8 minutes.
Remove from heat, drain, and place back into the pot. Add 1/2 cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup Asiago cheese, egg, butter, remaining salt and pepper and stir well. Stir in milk.
Scoop Macaroni and Cheese into the muffin tin. Once all of the tin is full, sprinkle bread crumbs and remaining cheese onto the tops.
Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes or until cheese browns on top.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from muffin tin so they will retain their shape.
