Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed butter crackers (about 35 crackers) (recommended: Ritz)
- 2 cups grated Cheddar, divided
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 cups cooked elbow macaroni (about 8 ounces uncooked), drained and kept hot
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a bowl, combine the crackers, 1 cup of the Cheddar and the melted butter. Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides.
In a large bowl, mix the macaroni with 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sour cream, cold butter pieces, and salt. Stir the milk mixture into the macaroni.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the macaroni mixture into each cracker crust and top with the remaining Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is browned and slightly crispy, about 25 minutes. Allow the pies to cool slightly before unmolding and serving warm.

OMG. I made these for Thanksgiving and it was an absolute HIT! I changed it up by using both white cheddar and yellow chedder cheese. This was so tasty and easy to make. I can't wait to do these again.

I made these this evening and for having never done anything like this before, I can honestly say I nailed it. My picky 6 year old son wolfed his down. He wanted seconds but I told him to wait 5 minutes before going for round two. After 5 min. he was stuffed... I added chopped up bacon to my mixture and poured it in on the noodles. I could have added a bit more salt but not much more. I think a couple shots of tobasco sauce, or cayenne or even some hot shot would help give it a bit more lively flavor. But thats just me... All in all very filling, easy to make, and pretty dog gone good.

These were great served with BBQ Ckn! I made the recipe as is and kids all liked them which was a surprise because my son usually will not eat Mac and Cheese. Husband really liked the flavor. I did not not even tell him where I got the recipe and he said "paula dean". Yep, you can tell there was no cutting calories or fat with this one! I will make again, but I really would enjoy a lighter version. Too heavy for me. The crust could be done with less cheese or none. ANYONE try a lighter version of this pass it on please.
