Mac N' Cheese Bites

Method

Mac N' Cheese Bites

  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

    Mix the Cheese Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Bites

    Using your hands, form the macaroni mixture into small balls or bites, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Bites

    In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the mac n' cheese bites in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sriracha Tomato Aioli

  1. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, tomato paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mac n' cheese bites hot with the sriracha tomato aioli on the side for dipping.
