Categories     Snacks

Yield 18 balls

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz cheese puff
¼ cup butter
½ cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz cream cheese, 1 block
1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked
1 ½ cups flour
3 eggs, beaten
oil, for frying
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Crush cheese puffs into a fine powder and set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add milk, cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese. Whisk until all the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
  • Pour cheese sauce over cooked pasta, stirring to ensure thorough coverage of the noodles.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cheese-coated pasta for at least 2 hours, allowing for it to cool completely and for the cheese sauce to bind the pasta together. This recipe also works well with leftover mac 'n' cheese.
  • Using your hands, take the chilled mac 'n' cheese and form it into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) balls.
  • Dredge the balls in flour, followed by egg before finally coating them in the powdered cheese puffs.
  • Heat the oil to 350˚F (180˚C) and fry the mac 'n' cheese balls until the outside is crispy, about 2 minutes. Once done frying, transfer to a wire rack to drain. Lightly sprinkle with salt before serving.
  • Enjoy!

These mac n' cheeseballs were okay, but I've had better. They were a bit dry and the cheese wasn't very flavorful.
