Ingredients

2 pkg. (7-1/4 oz. each) KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
4 OSCAR MAYER Wieners, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into thin slices
1/3 cup flour
4 eggs, divided
2 Tbsp. water
1-1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
2 cups oil
1/2 cup KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

Steps:

Prepare Dinners in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting half each of the margarine and milk. Add shredded cheese, wieners, flour and 1 egg; mix well. Spread onto foil-covered rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 min.
Whisk remaining eggs and water until blended. Place bread crumbs in shallow bowl. Shape Dinner mixture into 24 balls, using 1/4 cup Dinner mixture for each. Roll, 1 at a time, in eggs then in crumbs. Return to prepared baking sheet. Discard any remaining eggs and bread crumbs.
Heat oil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat to 350ºF. Add macaroni and cheese balls, in batches; cook 2 to 3 min. or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove from oil with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
Mix mayo and hot sauce. Serve with warm croquettes.
