Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked macaroni
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup crushed Cheetos
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 burger buns

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, milk, flour, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Take a scoop of the mac and cheese mixture and shape it into a patty, forming it to fit the size of your burger buns.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and crushed Cheetos. Dredge the mac and cheese patties in the breadcrumb-Cheetos mixture, pressing gently to coat them evenly.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated mac and cheese patties into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Toast the burger buns until golden and warm.
  6. Assemble the sandwich by placing a crispy fried mac and cheese patty on the bottom bun and topping it off with some extra crushed Cheetos for added crunch. Close the sandwich with the top bun.
