Croquette Mixture

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croquette Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Seasoning

    Stir in the beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Ensure everything is evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Form the Croquettes

    Using your hands, take a portion of the mixture and form it into a ball or patty shape. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into croquettes.

  4. 4

    Coat with Bread Crumbs

    Spread the bread crumbs on a plate. Roll each croquette in the bread crumbs until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquettes in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with additional buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
