Melt butter in a skillet or dutch oven on medium-low heat and add crushed garlic. Cook about 1-2 minutes before garlic burns and butter browns.

Add in the milk and mix. Allow the milk to simmer until it begins to bubble and thicken. Add in all of the shredded cheese and half of the bread crumbs. Mix in well and allow the cheese to melt. Mix constantly so that the cheese does not burn.
Boil elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Mix the cooked pasta in with the cheese sauce until all of the macaroni is evenly coated.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a mini muffin tin. Place the macaroni mixture and form to each muffin cup. Top each macaroni bite with bread crumbs.
