It's that time of year again

I haven't posted here in quite a long time. I was beginning to feel like I was repeating myself every few days. Now, in honor of my favorite time of year, (football season kicks off tomorrow night) I have been searching for different kinds of finger foods to serve during the game.

I like things I can make in advance and reheat as needed. I also like things that my kids like, because it makes them look forward to game days, too. My youngest asked for mac and cheese, which is far from finger food, but I decided to try and this is what I came up with.

1 box mac and cheese (the type with the sauce, not the powder), prepared as directed
Let the mac and cheese cool, then add 1 T Worchestershire sauce, 1/2 t each onion powder and ground red pepper, mix well. Stir in one beaten egg and 1/2 c bread crumbs. Spoon into a mini muffin pan (well coated with cooking spray), sprinkle with extra breadcrumbs and press into cups. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown like mac and cheese should be.

Let them sit for about 5 minutes to set, then remove from pan. Wow! Mac and Cheese you can eat with your fingers.
