Mini Mac & Cheese Bites
Young relatives were coming for a Christmas party, so I wanted something fun for them to eat. Instead, the adults devoured my mini mac and cheese. —Kate Mainiero, Elizaville, New York

These were a hit at our party. I ended up putting a little cheese in after the breadcrumbs to help keep them together when I took them out of the pan. I also made some in a regular size muffin tin to keep them going.
What is biscuit/ baking mix please? Is it something l can make myself? I'm in Australia and not heard of it. Thanks
A big hit at my get together. Really loved the addition of bread crumbs. Will make again!
Just made these today for a Christmas Eve dinner and I would love to keep them all for myself, lol They are sooo good. I didn't have any onion powder so I just chopped some onion and sautéed it with the butter. I also did freshly grate the cheese but ran out of the freshly grated and ended up using the regular packaged kind also Added in chopped bacon for the 2nd tray ad used some grated parmesan cheese to put in the bottom of the mini muffins along with bread crumbs, yum!!
what am i missing??? instruction say to add "biscuit mix" but no biscuit mix in ingredients?!
Simple and wonderfully tasty! I can't wait to make again at my next holiday celebration!
I’m disappointed to say this was not good at all. Considering the amount of time it takes to make I was expecting much more. The addition of garlic powder and onion powder was so overwhelming that was all you could taste. I had to throw the entire mixture into the trash. It had no semblance to mac and cheese that I’m accustomed to eating.
Hi! Does anyone know if it’s okay to refrigerate the macaroni mix BEFORE baking for next day bake??? Thanks!
These are amazing!! It made way more than 36. Probably closer to 50. I packed them down in muffin tins so that they would keep their shape while cooking. The bread crumbs in the bottom were fantastic and allowed the bites to come out effortlessly.
These were made for a wedding and they were a huge hit and disappeared quickly. Several people asked for the recipe. There are easy to make and a great make ahead recipe.
