Spray muffin cups with cooking spray. Spoon 2 T of mac and cheese mixture into each muffin cup. Push it down in the cups.
Top each muffin cup with a bit of cheddar cheese and fried onions.
1/2 cup French fried onions
Air fry at 400 F for 6-8 minutes, until the bites are golden brown on the edges. Be sure to use tongs to take the muffin cups out of the hot air fryer.
Let the mac and cheese bites cool for 3 minutes. Then pop them out of the muffin cups and put on a serving platter.
Notes
If using an oven bake the mac and cheese bites for 10-12 minutes at 400 F.
You can also substitute homemade mac and cheese or microwaved frozen mac and cheese. Just make enough to serve about 4 people.
