MACARONI & CHEESE APPITIZERS

Macaroni & Cheese is one of the greatest side dishes in history. Back in the late 1790's Thomas Jefferson personal chef James Hemings made it popular. When they returned from

France James brought back some amazing skills and fabulous recipes

he had learned.

Macaroni & Cheese started to show up at the Monticello table regularly and at

every dinner party Thomas Jefferson had.

Here is a quick and easy Thanksgiving appetizer and yes

food to prepare. So go ahead and

1. Microwave a 20oz box of frozen Macaroni & Cheese according to the box

2. Let the Macaroni & Cheese cool. In a bowl mix it together with one egg.

4. Brush a 24 cup mini muffin tin with butter.

5. Spoon slightly rounded tablespoons of the macaroni & cheese into the cups.

6. Sprinkle the top with some more of the cheddar cheese.
