I saw this Paula Dean idea and was taken with the recipe. I love fried food and mac and cheese... Ingredients:
* peanut oil, for frying |
* 1 recipe the lady's cheesy mac prepared, chilled in the refrigerator overnight, and cut into 15 bite-sized squares, recipe follows |
* flour, for dredging |
* 1 egg, beaten |
* plain bread crumbs, for dredging |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Dredge each Cheesy Mac square in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs to coat. Fry for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
3. The Lady's Cheesy Mac :
4. * 4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained
5. * 2 cups grated Cheddar
6. * 3 eggs, beaten
7. * 1/2 cup sour cream
8. * 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
9. * 1/2 teaspoon salt
10. * 1 cup milk
11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
12. Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot, add the Cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese, if desired.
