Ingredients:
– 2 cups cooked macaroni noodles
– 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni noodles, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Stir well to ensure the cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the macaroni.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the macaroni and cheese mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
3. Using your hands, shape the macaroni and cheese mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
4. In a shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. Roll each chilled macaroni and cheese ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C). Carefully fry the macaroni and cheese balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the Macaroni And Cheese Balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the Macaroni And Cheese Balls hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauce or simply on their own. Enjoy the crispy exterior giving way to the creamy, cheesy goodness inside with every bite.
