Ingredients

• 2 cups macaroni noodles, cooked
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 whole eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, broccoli, red bell pepper, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the vegetables and seasoning are evenly distributed.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well blended.
4. Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl with the macaroni, stirring continuously until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5. Carefully spoon the mixture into each cavity of the prepared muffin tin, filling each to just below the rim to allow space for the mixture to rise slightly during baking.
6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out clean.
7. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the bites to cool for about 5 minutes before gently removing them from the tin.
8. Serve the bites warm, or let them cool to room temperature if preferred.
