I normally have mac 'n' cheese in a massive bowl , but for my daughter this is not acceptable (she's so fussy) so i needed to find a way in which i could entice her to eat it. Put it in a muffin tin! genius! You can add veggies to this if you want to up you 5 a day. Enjoy!

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
50g cream cheese

Method:
Preheat oven to 200’c. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

In a medium size pan on a medium heat melt butter then add flour. Whisk until mixture is smooth. Slowly add milk and bring to a simmer. Add 1½ cups of the cheese, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat. Taste for seasoning.
