Tired of seeing Superbowl recipes on all the blogs these days?
Look away now, then. Except, wait. If you do that, you’ll miss something pretty darned incredible.
Deep Fried Macaroni and Cheese Bites.
Crazy, I know. But think about it. Macaroni and Cheese is SO good. And fried food? Also good. Combined? Well, awesomeness. In bite sized form. Heck, dip it in ranch dressing if you want, I won’t judge.
These mac & cheese bites are perfect for gameday, as they are put together pretty quickly since you can make half of it in advance. Plus, your guests will find you genius.
Score.
I used your basic Kraft Mac & Cheese Blue Box. It had the perfect sized noodle, it’s easy, it’s good, and it worked perfectly in this recipe. If you want to use something else, I recommend using a similar style noodle, and a similar consistency. Too runny, it’ll never set up. Too sticky? Well, that’s okay. No runny mac & cheese!
I also used Wasa Sourdough Flatbreads to make my breading for these cheesy bites. It’s a great product on it’s own – topped with cream cheese and fruit, made into cracker style pizzas – but it’s also amazing when pulverized and used as a breading. I didn’t need to add flour, and despite my concerns that it looked a little thin as it coated the unfried macaroni, as you can see, it worked perfectly and browned up just as I hoped.
Give it a shot!
Ingredients
- 1 package Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, prepared
- 1 package Wasa Sourdough Flatbread, pulverized
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- Oil for deep drying
Instructions
- Prepare macaroni and cheese as directed. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, and pour macaroni into it, pressing down evenly. COver and place in freezer for 2 hours or more, until needed.
- Combine egg and milk in shallow dipping bowl. In a separate plate or large shallow bowl, combine flatbread crumbs, salt, and garlic.
- Bring oil to 350-375.
- Remove frozen macaroni from parchment and cut into small squares or triangles. Dip each into egg wash, then coat with crumbs. Fry 5-6 in hot oil until both sides are golden brown. Remove from oil onto paper towels. Repeat until all macaroni has been used. Serve and enjoy!

Sounds like a good recipe, if not for the blatant product endorsement of Wasa.
Sorry, but I have much more respect for a chef/cook who chooses to use and/or present to others in a recipe an ingredient that does NOT involve a product endorsement.
I will not be using this recipe nor will I relay this website to other friends that are also cooking enthusiasts.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I for one love Wasa, I use it constantly, and the last time I looked, it was my name on this blog. But thanks for taking time out of your very busy day to let me know how much you dislike me.
Much appreciated.
Would LOVE to enter your contest. This recipe looks just like the mac and cheese bites i ate like 46 seconds ago. Yum!
