RE: Potato Chip Crusted Sausage Macaroni & Cheese Cups (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
I'd love to share it @drstevegilbert
Ingredients
Crust:
3 cups broken potato chips
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Macaroni:
200g (7 oz) uncooked elbow or other shape (I used farfalline) pasta noodles
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Instructions
Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Combine chips, butter, and flour in a food processor or blender and pulse a few times until fine and crumbly. Scoop heaping tablespoons into muffin pans and press gently up the sides, this takes a minute of patience but is fairly simple. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly browned. Remove and cool.
Macaroni: - Cook pasta according to package instructions and set aside. Brown sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat. then drain and reserve grease.
- Pour grease back into pan and slowly whisk in flour until smooth. Heat over low heat, stirring gently until thickened then stir in milk. Add cheese and seasoning and stir until smooth then add pasta and mix well.
Assemble: - Spoon macaroni into crusts and use the back of spoon to lightly pack it into cups (he pasta will shrink up so it's okay to overfill). Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until edges are golden.Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Wow, sounds even better after reading the recipe! Thanks for the post!
