Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

peanut oil, 2 inches for frying
flour, for dredging
1 egg, beaten
plain breadcrumbs, for dredging
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.
