Ingredients for Mac 'n' Cheese Bites

Method

Directions to Prepare Mac 'n' Cheese Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Macaroni and Cheese

    Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until thickened. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Add salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce until well coated. Allow to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Form the Bites

    Once the mixture is cool, form small balls or bites with your hands. Roll each bite in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Frying

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Bites

    Carefully drop the bites into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm, drizzled with additional homemade cheese sauce if desired.
