Fried Mac And Cheese Balls: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked macaroni
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Oil, for frying


Instructions

Creating Fried Mac And Cheese Balls can be accomplished easily if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Mac and Cheese: In a large saucepan, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, milk, and Parmesan cheese over medium heat. Stir until melted and creamy.
2. Add Seasoning: Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Incorporate Eggs: Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, stir in the eggs until well combined.
4. Chill the Mixture: Cover and refrigerate the mac and cheese for at least 1 hour. This will help it set and make it easier to form into balls.
5. Form the Balls: Scoop a tablespoon of the chilled mac and cheese mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
6. Coat the Balls: Dredge each ball in flour, then dip into a bowl with breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
7. Heat Oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry the Balls: Carefully place the coated mac and cheese balls in the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
9. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
10. Serve Hot: Enjoy your Fried Mac And Cheese Balls immediately while they’re still warm and crispy!
