Fried Mac and Cheese balls

There is nothing better than these crispy mac balls, filled with a creamy, cheesy center. I cut my Grandma's Mac Recipe  in half, and instead of baking the mac, there are a few different steps involved. See below and comment if you try them!

Time needed: 5-6 hours

Ingredients:
*See note: Follow your favorite mac and cheese recipe or use the one linked above (as mentioned cut recipe in half and **DO NOT bake it).
4-5 eggs, beaten
2 tbs milk
2 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
Canola oil, for frying
*Optional - you can serve with a cheese sauce or marinara sauce for dipping


Directions:
1. Once the cheese sauce and boiled noodles are mixed together in a casserole dish, do not bake it. Refrigerate the mac and cheese for 2 hours.

2. Once chilled, use a scooper to make meatball sized balls and place onto a baking sheet. Freeze for 2 hours.

3. Beat together the eggs and milk to create an eggwash and place into a small bowl. Fill a separate bowl with breadcrumbs. Dredge frozen mac balls into egg wash, then breadcrumb. Once all balls are coated, REPEAT. The balls will be double dipped (eggwash, breadcrumb, eggwash, breadcrumb). Freeze until ready to fry, at least 1 hour.

4. Use deep fryer or large sauce pot to heat oil to 300 degrees. Fry for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
