SPICY MAC 'N' CHEESE BITES RECIPE BY TASTY



Spicy Mac 'N' Cheese Bites Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: kosher salt, elbow macaroni, unsalted butter, all purpose flour, freshly ground black pepper, whole milk, Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, shredded yellow cheddar cheese, shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese, canola oil, large eggs, water, panko bread crumbs, kosher salt, Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce

Provided by Frank's RedHot

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling
8 oz elbow macaroni, dried
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup all purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce
1 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
3 cups canola oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
kosher salt, to taste
Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the mac 'n' cheese: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Return the pot to medium heat. Add the butter, flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the mixture is evenly combined. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the milk and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, add the Frank's RedHot® and cheddar cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted.
  • Pour the sauce into the bowl with the macaroni and stir until the pasta is well-coated. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Assemble the fried mac 'n' cheese: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the mac 'n' cheese has cooled, add the mozzarella cheese and stir to combine.
  • Scoop the mac 'n' cheese mixture into 1½-inch bites, rolling into smooth balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Heat the canola oil in a heavy deep pot over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • In the meantime, in a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well-combined. Add the panko bread crumbs to a separate shallow bowl. Coat the mac 'n' cheese bites in the egg wash, then cover completely in the bread crumbs.
  • When the oil is hot, add the mac 'n' cheese bites to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown (work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt.
  • Arrange the bites on a serving platter and drizzle with Frank's RedHot® or serve in a dish alongside for dipping.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: If you don't have a thermometer, test the temperature of the oil using a wooden chopstick. Dip the tip of the chopstick in the oil. The oil is hot enough to fry when bubbles form around the chopstick.

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Canapes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

25g butter, plus extra for the tin
25g plain flour
400ml milk
200g macaroni or other short pasta
200g mature cheddar, grated
1 tbsp olive oil
100g baby button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
20g dried breadcrumbs
8 black olives pitted and sliced
4 sundried tomatoes, sliced
100g grated mozzarella or cheddar

Steps:

  • To make the toppings, heat half the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, and cook the mushrooms for 10 mins until golden. Stir in half the garlic and the parsley, and fry for 1 min more. Season and scrape into a bowl. Heat the rest of the oil in the pan and fry the remaining garlic and the breadcrumbs for 3-5 mins, stirring until crisp. Scrape into a second bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour to make a thick paste. Gradually add the milk, a splash at a time, whisking until it's all incorporated. Cook for 2-3 mins more until thickened. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a pan of boiling salted water for 5-6 mins. Stir the cheddar into the white sauce until all the cheese has melted, then fold in the macaroni.
  • Butter a 12-hole muffin tin and divide the mac 'n' cheese between the holes, packing it in with the back of a spoon. Top with the mushroom mixture, olives or sundried tomato slices, then scatter over the grated cheese and garlic breadcrumbs. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for 15 mins until golden and piping hot. Leave to cool for 10-15 mins in the tin, then loosen by running a spoon around the edges. Transfer to a plate.
