Combine cooked pasta, butter, cheese, and half and half in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until all cheese is melted. Sprinkle bread crumbs on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and store in refrigerator for later use. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Get the creamier elbow-shaped version in the similar-looking box, or even better spring for the "deluxe" version with the pourable cheese sauce. Apple pie mac n cheese (10.00) cook one box of regular macaroni and cheese. Drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate serve hot. Fry the mac balls in small batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Press 2 tablespoonfuls into greased miniature muffin cups. Stir in the contents of the cheese packet, milk, cheese sauce and butter. Add macaroni cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove the mac balls from the freezer, coat in the egg wash, and then dredge in breading. Set the cheese packet from dinner mix aside. For this recipe, you'll want to go low culture for most of the ingredients: 1 package of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese elbow macaroni Panko bread crumbs 3-4 eggs 1 teaspoon nutmeg (1/2 if you are worried about over-spicing or using freshly ground nutmeg) Dry spices (optional) 1/2 cup flour 1 muffin tin Vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil) I don't recommend the classic tube-shaped original Kraft mac and cheese. In a large bowl, combine the cooked elbow macaroni, onion, pepper, bacon and a dash of black pepper. Beat the eggs with the 3 tablespoons milk in a small bowl. You could use an organic wheat elbow pasta and make the mac and cheese from scratch, but that's not you, is it? Besides, it's a waste of good ingredients. It's an extremely inexpensive dish, and one that is probably easier to make than you think. Whisk in the milk and cook, constantly whisking, until boiling, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and mustard over moderate heat for 2 minutes. While it's not something you'd want to do all the time, if you have a hankerin' for deep frying or are attending a party where insanely rich foods are admired or worshipped, deep-fried mac and cheese may be for you. In a large saucepan, melt the 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
