Macaroni and Cheese Cups

Another fellow worker is leaving our school. Long story, lucky for you I won't go into the details.

We are having a small pot luck and this is my contribution.

I know this looks rather messy but bear with me.

This is a different kind of twist using a muffin pan.

I thought this might be used as a finger food. Hum.

Ingredients:

1 sleeve crushed Ritz crackers

4 tablespoons melted butter

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese

.

6 oz uncooked macaroni

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded Monterey Cheese

1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

pinch of red pepper flakes

salt and pepper to taste

.

Set oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin or cup cake pan with oil.

In a medium sized bowl combine crushed crackers, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and butter. Press a large spoon full of cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and slightly up sides.

In a large bowl mix macaroni, milk, and cheeses.

In a small bowl beat the eggs and sour cream together. Then add remaining ingredients. All this is stirred together in a large bowl. Place 2 or 3 spoons full into each cup. There will be some left over. You can bake this in a dish for left overs.

Bake for 15 - 20 min. Makes 12.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you have a fun filled weekend.
