Fried Mac-N-Cheese-N-Hot Dog Balls image

I've bragged about making healthy, filling snacks for my kid after school. This one is ...well...filling but not low in fat or calories. Either way, my son and his friends love it!

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup cold prepared macaroni and cheese, preferably left over
1 hot dog, cut into 8 bite sized pieces
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Set aside in a shallow dish.
  • Shape macaroni and cheese into 8 balls with a piece of hot dog in the center. Roll in the bread crumb mixture coating well.
  • Fry in a pan with 350 degree oil until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Serve with every kids best friend -- Ketchup!
  • Note: I've also made this before with a piece of Broccoli in the middle, to sneak in something healthy.
