Baked Mac & Cheese Bites with Crispy Pancetta 🧀

1. Preheat your oven to 400º. 
2. Boil the elbow macaroni in salted water until al dente.
3. Crisp on the pancetta in a pan, remove from pan and set aside.
4. In that same pan on medium heat, add butter and melt. Whisk in the flour to form a roux. Whisk in the milk and then the shredded cheese.
5. Add in your seasonings and the crispy pancetta. Bring the heat to medium low and stir until the sauce thickens. Then, add in the cooked macaroni.
6. Add the mac & cheese into your muffin tins. If you’re not using non-stick muffin tins, grease them beforehand. Sprinkle a little cheese and panko breadcrumbs on top.
7. Bake on 400º for 20 minutes. If the panko breadcrumbs & cheese aren’t browned in that time, broil on high for 1 minute. Enjoy!
