Print Recipe

A creative twist on comfort food, combining creamy mac and cheese with savory stuffing baked into muffin tins for a grab-and-go delight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups leftover stuffing or store-bought stuffing
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add them to the macaroni mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Take your stuffing and break it into small pieces. Add the stuffing to the macaroni mixture, folding it in gently to combine.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, pressing it down slightly to pack it in. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For firmer muffins, compress the mixture slightly in the tin. Experiment with stuffing varieties like cornbread stuffing for a sweeter twist.
