Recipe Tips

Note
This is a great way to use any leftover mac and cheese. But, if your mac and cheese is not as creamy and cheesy as it was when you first made it, stir some milk and shredded cheese into the macaroni and cheese to get a creamier mixture that will hold together when spooned into the muffin pan cups.
Make it Easy
Use a 1-1/2-inch cookie dough scoop to easily portion the mac and cheese over the RITZ Bits in each muffin pan cup.
