Shenron's Mac & Cheese Ballz Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Macaroni

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring until thickened. Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Combine Mac & Cheese

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Mix well until the macaroni is fully coated. Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Form the Balls

   Once the mac & cheese mixture is chilled, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

5. 5

   Coat the Balls

   In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. In another dish, place panko breadcrumbs. Dip each mac & cheese ball into the egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

6. 6

   Fry the Balls

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the mac & cheese balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
