    I used a 500gm pack of elbow macaroni and processed cheddar cheese. When I mixed the macaroni and cheeses with the sauce, I added just a few extra tablespoons of warmed milk. I refrigerated the mac and cheese mix for one hour and once deep fried, coupled with my recipe of simple Marinara sauce(olive oil, garlic, crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, basil, salt and black pepper - saute garlic in oil, add tomatoes and seasoning and simmer on low heat untill thick, the mac and cheese came out fantastic! My kids loved it! Made quite a few mac and cheese balls and froze them for later. Excellent recipe!

    So, this is the second time I've made these. It's just me so I freeze the balls and bread and fry them whenever I want to eat them. I totally ran out of eggs this afternoon so instead of using the egg wash to bread them I used Mayo and it makes the best difference ever. If your eating these your probly not concerned how fattening they are anyway so use the Mayo trust me.

    Amazing! They were a huge hit at my Christmas Party. I served them with marinara. I think it was plenty cheesy. I used Italian Breadcrumbs which made all the difference. Everyone loved them and asked the recipe. They were time consuming but it was worth it. I had a party of 15 over and one batch was plenty if you are having other appetizers.

    I made this recipe tonight for a late night snack with some left over macaroni and cheese we had from dinner earlier in the week. OMG it is so freaking good and tastes clean, not greasy like some restaurant versions : and its surprisingly simple, would be a great appetizer for parties :

    Exactly like the fried mac and cheese at the cheesecake factory! These are dangerously good.

    I haven't made it yet, but when I do, I'm going to serve them on vodka sauce.

    These are so very yummy. Putting them in the fridge before shaping them is definitely the key. I didn't wait the full two hour and my first batch came out more like Mac and Cheese Patties instead of Balls. I also used velveta cheese instead of cheddar and it worked great. Very creamy. My kids are so excited when I make them.

    Have done this in my food truck for over a year now...they are a HUGE hit...i'd give you all a little bit of advice...for more creamy balls you don't need to add more cheese...just substitute 1/2 a pound of velveeta for the entire recipe (reduce each of the other cheeses by 1/4 lb and believe it or not...instant creaminess...
