This was awesome. We made it in the cups and they were delicious. Honestly, the mac and cheese itself is great. Next time we will just put it in a large dish and bake it that way. The cheese would make a great fondue as well.

These were very good and a hit at my recent party. They took a little bit of work, but nothing major. They almost reminded me of corn muffins when I took them out of the foil liners. Next time I will mix the bread crumbs on the top in a little cause they seemed to fall out.
