Macaroni and Cheese Casserole Cups image

This recipe came from a coupon book that I picked up in Safeway. I made it for a baby shower and they were devoured instantly. Serving them in cupcake form made them easy to serve AND easy to eat! Please note that the preparation time varies wildly depending on whether you opt to buy pre-shredded cheese, shred your cheese in a food processor, or hand-shred your cheese.
