Cheesy Bites

Grease a regular 6-cup muffin tray with softened butter. Sprinkle breadcrumbs all over. 

 Sauté minced garlic in a saucepan until soft but not browned. Add fresh milk, water, grated quick-melting cheese, cream cheese, and mustard. Mix in uncooked macaroni. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked and has absorbed the sauce. Let cool, then scoop into muffin cups. 

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Spoon on top of each mac 'n' cheese cup. Bake in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes or until tops are golden. Let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm.
