Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 c Panko breadcrumbs, seasoned or plain
2 c uncooked elbow macaroni
1 egg, beaten
2 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided in half
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1 c whole milk
1 tsp finely chopped parsley (1/2 tsp dry)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease mini muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  • 2. Coat insides of mini-muffin tin with bread crumbs (to help the bites hold their shape).
  • 3. Bring large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add macaroni. Cook 4-5 minutes, just until softened but not cooked through. Remove from heat, drain and return to pot.
  • 4. Stir in butter and egg until pasta is evenly coated.
  • 5. Mix in bacon, mustard, milk, salt, and cheeses (reserving 1 cup Jack cheese).
  • 6. Then spoon into muffin tin, press filling gently with fingers (to help the bites hold their shape). Top with reserved cheese.
  • 7. Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown.
  • 8. Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from pan. Garnish with parsley and enjoy.
