Print Recipe QR Code Save Recipe

Ingredients

  • Kraft Fresh Take Smokey Mesquite BBQ
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with butter.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs from the Fresh Take packet with the olive oil and set aside.
  • Cook macaroni according to the package directions cooking for about 8 minutes so that the macaroni are still a little bit firm. Remove from the heat, drain and return to the pan; stir in the butter and egg until pasta is evenly coated.
  • Reserve ½ cup of sharp Cheddar cheese and stir the remaining Cheddar cheese and Kraft Fresh Take cheese packet, and milk into the pasta.
  • Spoon into the prepared muffin tin.
  • Sprinkle the reserved cheese and the bread crumb mixture over the top of the macaroni and cheese muffins.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is nicely browned. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. This will allow the cheese to set and they will hold their muffin shape.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce if desired.
