Print Recipe

These Macaroni and Cheese Bites are a fun and delicious twist on classic mac and cheese. They’re perfect for a party appetizer, a kid-friendly snack, or a comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon white ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 8 ounces macaroni noodles, cooked and drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a muffin tin with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium-sized pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted, quickly whisk in the flour, salt, garlic powder, and white ground pepper until smooth and combined.
  3. Add the milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the milk begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and add the cheese. Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese is completely melted, and the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Add the noodles and breadcrumbs to the cheese sauce and fold to combine.
  5. Fill your muffin tin with the mac and cheese mixture.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and allow your mac and cheese bites to cook for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spoon to help loosen the edges of the bites from the tray. Allow the bites to cool down for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
