Mac'n'Cheese Donuts

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Stir in the egg and chopped green onions. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Donuts

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then scoop into donut molds. Make sure to pack the mixture tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Breading

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Crush Flamin’ Hot Cheetos® into fine crumbs on a plate.

  6. 6

    Coat the Donuts

    Remove the donuts from the mold and coat each donut in the crushed Cheetos®. Place on a baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
