Mac 'n Cheese Cupcakes

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cook two cups of macaroni. I always cook it in a shallow frying pan covered in cold water and brought to a boil, but cook it however you would like!
3. While your macaroni is cooking, mix together 2 cups of cheddar cheese, a sleeve of butter crackers, crushed and a stick of melted butter in a bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 eggs, add 1 cup of milk and a half cup of sour cream. Cut up a half stick of COLD butter into small pieces and mix all together.
5. Once the macaroni is done cooking and still hot, add a cup of shredded cheese and mix together. Pour the egg/milk/sourcream mixture and completely combine with the noodle/cheese mix. 

1. Using 2 muffin tins or 18 canning lids and a sheet pan, add your cupcake liners and spray each liner with non-stick spray.
2. Press down the cheese/cracker/butter mix into the bottom of each muffin cup to compact it together.
3. Spoon the macaroni mix on top and fill each cup completely. Sprinkle each cupcake with any leftover cheese/cracker/butter mix.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of each cupcake comes out golden brown and toasted.
5. Allow to cool. Yum!
