Mac n' Cheese Cupcakes Recipe
Makes: 12-18 standard cupcake size

Ingredients

  • 6 1/2 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
  • 4 1/2 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  • Grease muffin tins and set aside

  • Bring a medium pot of water to boil, cook macaroni until al dente. Macaroni should be too firm to eat right out of the pot. Drain.

  • In the same pot, stir together macaroni, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, nutmeg and pepper.

  • With an ice cream scooper, scoop macaroni mixture into muffin tins. Pack it down so it holds it shape.

  • In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs and butter, then sprinkle on top of each macaroni cup.

  • Bake 10-15 minutes or until tops are golden.

  • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
