Macaroni Bites Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the macaroni pasta and a pinch of salt. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and egg. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Form the Bites

    Using your hands, form the macaroni mixture into small balls or bites, about 1-2 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Coat the Bites

    Roll each macaroni bite in bread crumbs until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Bites

    In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated macaroni bites in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Serve

    Serve the macaroni bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
