Mac & Cheese Balls

Mac & Cheese Balls

Here's a quick, easy appetizer for the big game this weekend.  The recipe for basic Mac & Cheese is in here:  Basic Mac & Cheese. 

Stop just before you bake it...and let it sit (at least 30 mins...or more) to firm up.  The longer it sits, the firmer it will become. 

Breading
2 eggs + 1 Tbsp whole milk
Panko bread crumbs + 2 tsp salt

Directions
Roll the mac and cheese into balls (about the size of a scoop of ice cream)
Dip the ball in the egg mixture, then roll it in the panko mixture
Place ball in hot oil for frying (I use peanut oil, but vegetable or canola work just as well!)
Fry until golden brown. 
Turn them over in the oil to make sure they are completely brown on all sides.

Serve however you want to!  You can use marinara sauce, ranch dressing.  As the song says, "...It's your thang...do what you wanna do!"

Happy Cooking,
