Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Make the cheese sauce: In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly, and continue to heat for 3–4 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Season the sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the cheese: Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella until completely melted and smooth.
Combine with pasta: Add the cooked macaroni to the pot and stir until every noodle is coated in cheesy goodness. Remove from heat.
Prep for baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the mac and cheese into each well, pressing down slightly to fill completely. If you have any leftover mac and cheese, you can save it for later.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown. Let the cups cool for about 10 minutes—this helps them set so they don’t fall apart.
Add the toppings: Carefully remove the mac and cheese cups from the tin and transfer to a serving platter. Top each cup with crispy fried onions, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions.
Serve and enjoy: These cheesy, crispy, flavorful cups are best served warm.

After you’ve wowed everyone with the cheesy, crunchy goodness of the mac & cheese cups, it’s time to keep the flavor train rolling with something equally irresistible—Cheesy Olive Bread. Soft, buttery, and loaded with gooey cheese, tangy green and black olives, and a hint of garlic, this pull-apart bread is perfect for dunking, sharing, or just sneaking bites straight from the oven. It’s a savory, crowd-pleasing treat that pairs beautifully with your game day spread.

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prep the bread: Slice the French bread in half widthwise. If using one long loaf, cut each half lengthwise; if using two shorter loaves, simply slice each in half lengthwise. Set the pieces aside.
Make the cheesy mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, softened butter, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the flavor boosters: Stir in the shredded Monterey Jack (or Colby Jack) cheese and sliced green onions until evenly combined.
Mix in the olives: Gently fold in the drained green and black olives so they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Assemble the bread: Divide the cheesy olive mixture evenly among the prepared bread pieces, spreading it generously over the tops.
Bake to perfection: Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the olives are warmed through, and the bread starts to get crispy around the edges.
Slice and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Slice diagonally, transfer to a serving platter, and serve warm. Grab a piece (or two!) and enjoy that gooey, cheesy goodness.

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen diced hash browns, French onion chip dip, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
Assemble in the dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
Add more cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the base layer: Place the dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Add the crunchy topping: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled Ruffles Sour Cream & Onion Chips over the top.
Drizzle with butter: Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the chips to help them crisp up and add extra flavor.
Finish baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Serve and enjoy: Let the potatoes cool slightly, then serve warm alongside your game day favorites. Cheesy, creamy, and perfectly crunchy—these potatoes are a sure crowd-pleaser!
