Mac and Cheese Cups

February 21st, 2012

When I first graduated from college, and was living in a dreary little apartment,  mac and cheese was one of my few specialties. Granted it was straight from a box, but it was one of those meals that made me feel like I was home. I shared a gussied up truffle version a couple of years back (here), and since the Academy Awards are just days away, I thought I’d make it more party-friendly. I followed this recipe  and found the bite-sized portions to be even more appealing, and were just as good served hot as they were room temperature.

    These are so cute! I just made a huge tray of mac n cheese for Mardi Gras last night, and now it’s almost all gone! (thanks roomies).

    Next time I think I’ll try them in bite size portions. I bet it would give it a nice crunch!

    Great way to serve mac & cheese! Thanks for sharing the recipe. It’s definitely one of my favorite foods… rivals chocolate. I’ve also graduated from the box/microwave versions. I remember adding extra cheese & bread crumbs to ez mac =)

  • http://fromtheletters.blogspot.com Fran

    that looks yummy! :D

    These do look lovely, but I think a good macaroni and cheese needs a proper roux, to be truly delicious. Which is time consuming especially if you flavour the milk with carrot, onion, bay leaves and cloves etc. Nigel Slater has an excellent roux recipe, I strongly recommend it. You will never look back.
