Steps:
- Grease a nonstick mini muffin pan very well with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat, then cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package says. My elbow macaroni said to cook for 7 minutes, so I drained it after 5.
- After you've cooked and drained the pasta, return the empty pasta pot to the heat and turn the heat down to medium. Melt the butter and add the paprika. Add the flour and stir the mixture around for 2 minutes. While whisking, add the milk. The mixture will be very thick, but that's intentional. Just make sure you have stirred out any lumps. Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheeses and drained pasta, stirring it all together until the cheese and sauce are well distributed.
- Portion your mac and cheese into the muffin cups, either with a spoon or a 3-tbsp cookie scoop. Pack the mac and cheese into the muffin cups with your fingers really well. If you don't pack the mac and cheese down, they won't hold their shape when you take them out after baking, and you don't want them to fall apart.
- Bake the mac and cheese cups for 15 minutes, until bubbling and gooey. Remove them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes, then carefully run a plastic knife or toothpick (assuming you need to not destroy the nonstick coating on your pan) around the edges to loosen. Remove the mac and cheese cups from the pan and garnish with chopped chives or scallion greens. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander and set aside.
- Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, cut tiny slits in all four corners of the wrapper, so that it nestles easily into a muffin tin opening. Repeat until you have 20 to 24 wonton "cups." Bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove the wonton wrappers from the muffin tin and let cool.
- In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and when the roux forms small balls, slowly whisk in the milk and continue to whisk constantly to avoid scorching the sauce.
- Add the cheeses, salt, and pepper and cook, whisking, until the cheese is incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the hot sauce, powdered bouillon, scallions, parsley, and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is velvety and coats the back of the spoon, 4 to 5 more minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked elbow macaroni with the warm sauce and stir to completely coat the pasta in the sauce. Spoon the mac and cheese mixture into the wonton cups, add any desired toppings, and serve.
SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE
A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

MACARONI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE CUPS

Please note that the preparation time varies wildly depending on whether you opt to buy pre-shredded cheese, shred your cheese in a food processor, or hand-shred your cheese.
