Mac N’ Cheetos

Huge demand on this one, so we decided to experiment with a new Mac & Cheese recipe that we thought worked very well in deep fried form. Let’s not just settle for Cheetos Puff style crust either, might as well go Crunchy Style too… matter ‘fact lets go extra flaming hot while we’re at it. So enjoy a delicious mac & cheese recipe along with it being deep fried 2 ways.

Instructions

Things you'll need
  1. Skip to step 9 if you have old leftover mac & cheese in your fridge. But if you want a nice recipe for mac and cheese please continue reading

  2. Boil an entire 1 lb box of elbow macaroni, drain, etc.

  3. In a sauce pan add 2 Tbsp Butter & ½ Cup Heavy Cream and bring to a boil

  4. Add room temperature Mascarpone & finely grated sharp cheddar cheese to sauce pan until completely blended / melted

  5. Add Elbow Macaroni and mix

  6. Eat it, it's fresh and it should taste good

  7. Transfer to refrigerator and I'd probably just wait until tomorrow to use

  8. Now you have cold leftover mac and cheese!

  9. Grab roughly 2 oz of mac and cheese (for easy measuring use a spoon or ice cream scoop)

  10. Form it into a turd and then toss it into flour, then egg wash then crushed up Cheetos mixture

  11. For best results, Freeze for an hour before frying

  12. Deep Fry at 350°F for 2 minutes

  13. Serve with a side of cheese or any dipping sauce for that matter

  14. TIPS: If you crush the Cheetos by hand you will get a more crunchy texture. Try other types of coatings besides Cheetos. Have fun with this step!
