Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of cooked macaroni pasta
  • 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup of milk

  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • ¼ tsp of garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp of onion powder
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • ¼ tsp of black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

  • Instructions

  • Cook the Macaroni: Start by boiling your macaroni according to package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and let it cool slightly.
  • Make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
  • Add the Egg: Once the cheese sauce has cooled a bit, mix in the egg.

  • Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat your vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the Bites: Carefully add the mac and cheese bites to the hot oil, cooking until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
