    Ingredients
     

    • 8 oz elbow macaroni (cooked and drained)
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 oz cream cheese (¼ of a standard 8 oz package)
    • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 pinch each, salt & pepper (or to taste)
    • 1 pinch dry mustard powder (optional)
    • 1 large egg (beaten)

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and coat the muffin cups of a mini muffin pan tray with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
    • While your elbow macaroni is cooking, start the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, milk, and cream cheese to the melted butter and bring to simmering long enough to fully melt the cream cheese.
      8 oz elbow macaroni, 2 tablespoon butter, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup milk, 2 oz cream cheese
    • Add the sharp cheddar cheese and seasoning (garlic powder, salt, pepper, dry mustard powder) and combine, stirring enough to melt the added cheddar. Remove from heat and pour over the cooked and drained elbow macaroni. Stir in the beaten egg until all of the pasta is evenly coated with cheese and the egg is distributed throughout the mac and cheese.
      2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 pinch each, salt & pepper, 1 pinch dry mustard powder, 1 large egg
    • Spoon the macaroni and cheese into the mini muffin pan cups up to the edge, then top each with a small portion of grated cheese. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes or until the tops and sides of the mac n cheese bites are turning golden brown.
