Homemade Croutons

Last week, we tried out a yummy skillet mac & cheese recipe from America's Test Kitchen.  Everyone's favorite part of the recipe was the homemade croutons that were sprinkled on top of the dish.  I'm of the opinion that most everything tastes better with garlic, so I altered the recipe a tiny bit and came up with some of the best croutons ever.  Here's how:

Ingredients:
3          slices sandwich bread
2-3 T    unsalted butter

garlic powder

            salt & pepper

Directions:

1.      Remove crusts from bread and cut into ½-inch cubes.

2.      Melt butter in a large skillet over medium –high heat.

3.      Toss bread cubes in butter and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

      4.      Toast until lovely brown and fragrant.
      5.      Devour.
