Sometimes food trends are a bit silly; sometimes they’re surprisingly clever. This one falls into the latter camp. Christmas brings with it the stress of feeding people in higher than usual numbers, so any dish that can assuage this is a hit with me. Macaroni cheese baked into three-mouthful portions, genius.
These are as easy to make for 50 as they are for six, and they tick all the canapé boxes: they’re substantial, don’t give people mucky fingers or stain their new white shirt, and they’re great for kids, too. You could also double the recipe and have mac ’n’ cheese for dinner the night before you have your guests over and simply bake the leftovers. Where has this recipe been all our lives?
