Classic Fried Mac n Cheese Balls

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and milk. Mix well until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth.

2. 2

   Shape the macaroni and cheese mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for about 1 hour or until firm.

3. 3

   In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

4. 4

   Roll each macaroni and cheese ball in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each ball is evenly coated.

5. 5

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the coated macaroni and cheese balls in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve the fried mac n cheese balls hot and enjoy!
