Fried Mac & Cheese Bites
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Mac & Cheese
Cook macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbling. Slowly whisk in milk and continue to cook until the mixture thickens. Add cheddar and mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper, stirring until cheese is melted. Combine with cooked macaroni.
Chill the Mixture
Spread the mac and cheese mixture onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Form the Bites
Once chilled, scoop out portions of the mac and cheese mixture and roll into balls. Set aside.
Fry the Bites
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the mac and cheese bites in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
