Restaurant-Style Mac and Cheese Cups

Is there any side more classic than mac and cheese? The nostalgic dish is one of the few childhood meals that successfully makes the leap from the school cafeteria to the restaurant menu. These Restaurant-Style Mac and Cheese Cups follow a long tradition of spicing up basic mac and cheese with a twist. All you need to make them, though, is a simple muffin tin. The result is a perfect snack or appetizer. Eat these mac and cheese cups on their own or pair them with BBQ (or any other dish that strikes your fancy).
