FRIED MAC AND CHEESE BALLS
Steps:
- Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the butter and stir it with a whisk. Cook for 2 minutes. Whisk the warmed milk into the flour mixture, working out any lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cheeses, and stir until melted and smooth; season with salt and pepper. Fold the cheese sauce into macaroni. Pour the mac and cheese into a shallow pan and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Shape the cold mac and cheese into meatball-sized balls and place them onto a waxed paper-lined tray. Freeze the balls overnight.
- Beat the eggs and 2 tablespoons milk together to form an egg wash and pour it into a shallow bowl. Put the bread crumbs into another shallow bowl. Remove the mac and cheese balls from the freezer. Dip the frozen balls into the egg wash then into the bread crumbs. Put the balls back into the freezer until you are ready to fry.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry the mac and cheese balls until they are golden brown and center is hot, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite marinara or Alfredo sauce or combination or both for dipping.
FRIED MACARONI-AND-CHEESE BITES
Make way for little squares of heaven -- these fried morsels are sure to be voted most popular at any party. You can (and should) prepare the stovetop macaroni and cheese a few days ahead, since it will firm up in the refrigerator, for easier cutting. Then follow a two-step breading process, using panko instead of regular breadcrumbs for a crust that's crisp yet light. Don't be put off by the yield; the squares fry quickly, in three or four batches, and you can reheat replenishments over the course of the evening -- whenever the platter is wiped clean (which will be often).This recipe originally appeared in "Martha Stewart's Appetizers" (Clarkson Potter).

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni until al dente according to package instructions; drain.
- In pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is pale golden and has a nutty aroma, about 4 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add milk. Cook, whisking along bottom of pot, until boiling, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the mustard powder, and cheese. Stir until melted and sauce is smooth; season with salt. Add macaroni to sauce, and stir to combine.
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment; brush parchment lightly with oil. Spread macaroni mixture evenly in dish. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours.
- Invert set macaroni and cheese onto a cutting board and remove parchment. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
- Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. In a shallow dish, season panko with salt. Dip macaroni squares, a few at a time, in eggs, allowing excess to drip off into dish, then roll in panko mixture to coat completely. Transfer to a wire rack set on a baking sheet.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium until shimmering. Working in batches, add coated squares in a single layer (do not crowd pan); cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are crisp and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined rack to drain and cool slightly. Wipe skillet clean. Repeat process with more oil and remaining squares. Serve warm.
SPICY FRIED MACARONI AND CHEESE BITES

- In a deep-sided skillet heat the canola oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
- Coat the macaroni and cheese balls in the egg mixture. Put into the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are completely coated.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 of the sides.
- Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from the heat and add 1 of the bags of chips. Stir gently to make sure all the chips are covered with milk. Let sit until the milk is bright orange and the chips are no longer coated with the cheese powder, about 2 minutes. Strain the milk and return it to the saucepan (you should have 2 1/2 cups of milk). Discard the wet chips.
- Add the macaroni to the steeped milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, cream cheese, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Spread the macaroni into the prepared baking dish and freeze until firm and stiff, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, pulse the remaining bag of chips in a food processor until fine crumbs. Put the eggs, flour and chip crumbs into 3 separate shallow dishes. Lightly beat the eggs.
- Lift the macaroni slab from the baking dish using the parchment overhangs for handles. Cut the macaroni into 3-inch equilateral triangles. Dredge each triangle in the flour, then dip in the eggs, letting any excess drip off, and finally press into the chip crumbs to cover completely. Put the triangles on a baking sheet and freeze until chilled, about 10 minutes.
- Fill a large heavy pot with 2 inches of oil and attach a deep-frying thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
- Working in batches, fry the triangles until golden brown on the outside and heated through on the inside, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift the triangles from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; let the oil come back to temperature between batches. Season with salt and serve the triangles in a chip bowl with ranch dressing for dipping.

- Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, pimentos, sour cream, hot sauce, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Spread into the prepared baking dish and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the macaroni in a block from the dish. Cut into 2-inch squares, transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until completely firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of oil and heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Fry the mac and cheese squares in batches until golden brown on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

FRIED MACARONI AND CHEESE
Our city hosts the annual Westide Nutclub Fall Festival (second largest street festival next to Mardi Gras). The festival is known for cultivating strange and unique fried foods. Over the past couple years Fried Macaroni and Cheese has rose to fame at one of the local booths. I experimented around with this concept to create a recipe that had a little more "oomph" than the Blue Box product dipped in bisquick and deep fried. Here is what I came up with.
