These crunchy, cheesy, and creamy mac and cheese balls make the perfect appetizer. They are also a great way to use leftover macaroni and cheese.

Ingredients

• 3 - 4 cups leftover mac and cheese
• 1 - 2 large egg + 1 tablespoon milk, beaten
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs (I used half panko half regular bread crumbs)
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 garlic powder
• 1/4 cup onion powder
• pinch of salt
• oil for frying

Instructions

1. Make macaroni and cheese and refrigerate until firm for a minimum of 4 hours.
2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
3. Add flour to a shallow dish and mix in paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt; set aside.
4. Using a small cookie scoop, roll macaroni and cheese into balls.
5. Coat the mac and cheese balls in flour, then egg mixture, and finally in bread crumbs.
6. Fry the balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
7. Serve with ranch or your favorite sauce.
8. ENJOY!
