Depending on the size of your pot, deep fry the mac and cheese balls in batches to avoid over-crowding.To easily form the mac and cheese balls, make sure you start with well chilled mac and cheese so it easily comes together as you form it.It’s going to be the unstoppable favorite-I’m betting on it! I can hardly wait to serve these Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Crunchy Fried Mac and Cheese Balls at our Memorial Day BBQ.

I like serving them with a side of blistered and charred shitsito peppers because they are a current obsession for Matt, but also because it does a great job at balancing the richness of the mac and cheese and the charred flavor is a good counter-point to the fiery zest of the coating. You can serve these as a meal or as an appetizer. We are so excited about these because: (1) they taste fabulous (2) Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Crunchy are a regularly stocked item in our pantry, so spinning them into a recipe means we now have another way to enjoy them (3) and we are never going back to any previous versions of fried mac and cheese. Sure we’ve both made deep-fried mac and cheese balls before, but never like this-never with Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Crunchy. But for this one, we decided to collaborate. If you are a regular reader here, you know Matt and I are always trying to out do one another. These are going to be one of your biggest summer hits, so easy to make and perfect for effortless entertaining!Īdmittedly, I gave these a test run last week during the basketball championship, because game day eats is a big deal around here. Deep fried foods like these Cheetos Flamin’ Hot CrunchyFried Mac and Cheese Balls. Summer is nearly here and I’m ready for all the summer feels like grill’n, gatherings and deep-fried foods. **This post has been sponsored by Frito-Lay.
