You probably loved some form of boxed mac as a kid and later enjoyed the pleasures of baked homemade macaroni and cheese. But, have you ever tried it on pizza, or in a BBQ Beef Sandwich?

It makes a fantastic side dish to many American classic entrees, but why not take this famous traditional comfort food to the next level? From fried mac and cheese balls to chili mac, we’ve got something special for you.

This trendy fried food is popular in restaurants, and you can find it during most early fall carnivals. So, why not try it at home? Whether you have extra mac and cheese leftover from last night’s dinner or an additional box of easy mac in your pantry, this recipe works.

After your mac has cooled in the fridge for a few hours, you’ll notice it gets firm as the cheese gets cold. Using a cookie scoop, you’ll make equally sized balls that you then dip into egg and Panko breadcrumbs. After frying, you’ll have crispy golden-brown balls of fried goodness.

This makes for the perfect game day appetizer or party addition. You can’t go wrong with fried food, especially when it’s a family favorite like macaroni and cheese.
