Fried Macaroni




Hmmmmm and Yummmm. Ironically, at the gym the other day I was watching the Food Network. Paula Deen was on - who I just love! She was making many different things - but this was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.


You take squares of macaroni, wrap them in bacon, dredge them in egg/bread crumbs, and then fry them up! I have to try it!
1 recipe "The Lady's Cheesy Mac" prepared, chilled in the refrigerator overnight, and cut into 15 squares, recipe follows 1 pound bacon Flour 2 eggs, beaten Plain bread crumbs Peanut oil, for frying
Heat peanut oil to 350 degrees F.

Wrap each square of cheesy mac with 1 strip of bacon, and fasten with toothpick. Dredge each square in flour then egg and then bread crumbs to coat. Fry for about 3 minutes until golden brown.

The Lady's Cheesy Mac:
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained 2 cups grated Cheddar 3 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup sour cream 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and 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.
