It’s Thanksgiving week and I am so grateful that I got to film this recipe video with my Mama. Not only are these Mac & cheese bites SO easy, but they were delish. B came home while we were filming and I had to keep him away from eating all the Mac & Cheese Bites. They’re perfect for a holiday appetizer or potluck but they’re also perfect for the tailgate to a home gate. Take a look at our video:
Here’s how to make Mac & Cheese Bites:
Mac & Cheese Bites
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. elbow macaroni
- 5 oz. of garlic and herb cheese boursin
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp. cold unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- pinch salt and pepper
- 2 cups crushed Ritz Crackers
- 6 tbsp. butter melted
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Preparation:
-
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and spray 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray. (Recipe makes 48 mini bites)
-
Melt 6 tbsp. of butter and mix the crushed Ritz and the 1/2 cup cheddar.
-
Press about 1 tsp. of crumb mixture into the bottom of the mini muffin tin. Crust should come up a little on the sides.
-
Prepare macaroni noodles. When done, strain and then put into a large bowl.
-
Add the herbed cheese, cheddar, sour cream, milk, eggs, cold butter, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until cheese is starting to melt and no large clumps remain.
-
Spoon about 1-2 tsp. of mixture into the crusts.
-
Bake for 13-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit at least 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
