Making Crispy Fried Macaroni and Cheese Balls is both fun and straightforward. Follow these steps to create your own:

1. Cook the Macaroni: In a large pot, boil water and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the macaroni is well-coated.
3. Chill Mixture: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape.
4. Shape the Balls: Once the mixture is chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls with your hands.
5. Coat the Balls: In a shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. Roll each macaroni and cheese ball in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
6. Heat Oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F or 175°C) before frying.
7. Fry the Balls: Carefully drop a few balls into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining balls in batches, ensuring you don’t overcrowd the pan.
