Using a greased muffin tin, to give the pies shape, the mum adds a large spoonful of the mac and cheese mix into each section.
She then makes a hole in the centre of each pile of pasta and fills it with bacon, chives and cheese.
The muffin tray is then put in the oven until the cheese on the top has melted.
