Macaroni and Cheese "Cupcakes"
Makes 12 individual portions
1 cup elbow macaroni
1- 1 1/2 cup of grated cheese of your choice (I use whatever is in the fridge; usually cheddar, colby, mozzarella, parmesan, sometimes monterey jack)
3 tablespoon margarine, divided
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
Boil macaroni in 2 quarts water until, following directions on package. Drain. Melt 1 tablespoon margarine in pan over medium heat, add flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken, like a gravy. Remove from heat, add cheeses and stir until melted. Mix with cooked noodles.
Divide macaroni equally into cupcake tin, lined with foil papers. Melt remaining margarine and mix with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture on top.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until browned.
Enjoy!
