FRIED MAC & CHEESE

Mac 'n Cheese Patties (This is a good recipe for leftover macaroni and cheese.)
Ingredients:
1 box of macaroni and cheese 2 eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon milk 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs Canola oil for shallow frying
Directions:
1. Make the macaroni and cheese according to the instructions on the box.
2. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a shallow dish and refrigerate.
3. When completely cool (about one hour), use an ice cream scoop to create balls of macaroni and cheese. Compress the balls to make them flat. (You want to make them look like mini-hamburger patties.) Place them on a wax paper-lined plate and freeze for at least six hours.
4. When you're ready for dinner, whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl, and place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
5. Dip the macaroni and cheese patty in the egg wash, coating it completely. Let the excess egg wash drip off before rolling in the breadcrumbs.
6. Heat a half-inch of canola oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the macaroni and cheese patties. When golden on one side, gently ease over onto the other side using tongs or a spatula. Drain on paper towels. Enjoy on a bun with ketchup or marinara sauce.
