Let's be honest, anything bite sized just tastes better. Bite sized cheesecake, cookies, donuts, cupcakes, appetizers, sliders, crab cakes, candy, and mochi ice cream all taste better when they are bite sized.
I was asked to bring some m&c to my cousin Dave's birthday party. Knowing that he enjoys the finer things in life, I thought that bite sized m&c would be the perfect choice. I found this recipe on Food&Wine's website. It is really simple to make, calls for ingredients that you probably already have and is classic enough that it will earn everyone's approval.
First, cook the noodles until almost tender, but not quite. Nobody likes overcooked noodles.
After heating up the butter, add flour, milk, cheddar and American cheeses, egg yolk, and paprika (for a tasty kick)...

Bake at 425 degrees and voila, you have a masterpiece!
My fav thing about this recipe is the use of American cheese. I haven't eaten this stuff in years. In fact, when I was a kid I would have to sneak it because my mom wouldn't let me eat it. It has been so long that I wasn't even sure where to buy it. But, rest assured, your local Trader Joe's carries it. Do you have any fond memories of American cheese?
