Mac and Cheese Balls are the PERFECT comfort food that is crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Ingredients

·          1 pound leftover mac and cheese chilled - I used On-Cor Macaroni and Cheese entrée

·          1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or more

·          1 cup shredded parmesan cheese or more

·          2 eggs beaten

·          2 cups bread crumbs

·          Oil for frying

Instructions

1.     Refrigerate the mac and cheese for 3-4 hours before using in this recipe.

2.     Add it to a large bowl, and mix with the shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese. If the texture is still a bit runny, add more cheese of choice.

3.     The mac and cheese should be firm and consistent enough to easily roll into balls.

4.     In a medium bowl add beaten eggs and set aside, in another one add breadcrumbs and set aside.

5.     Using a scoop, roll out about 15 balls.

6.     Next, dip each ball in the egg wash and then dredge in breadcrumbs, coat evenly. Place on a parchment paper-lined cutting board and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

7.     Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

8.     Then, add the balls to the Dutch oven and cook for about 4 minutes, until evenly golden and crispy.

9.     After that, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

10. Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
