It’s been such a nice, quiet Sunday. A little cloudy. A little fall-ish. Dear husband and I went out and voted early and ran a quick errand. It was too early for dinner and too late for lunch, but I was in the mood for a snacky-type fun food.
I made a big batch of cheeseburger mac ‘n cheese yesterday. It seemed a little less than thrilling as a leftover, so I decided to change all that, LOL.
I used my cookie dough scooper to form it into balls, run them through beaten egg with a little milk, then coat them in Italian bread crumbs and parmesan and fry them.
Oh. My. Goodness…..these are good and exactly what I was craving. This is such a delicious snack and the perfect solution to leftover mac ‘n cheese. Yum!!!
