Gangsta! Turkey Stuffed Mac and Cheese Bites



Turkey Stuffed Mac & Cheese Bites

Leftover Mac & Cheese is not a common occurrence in our household. My daughter loves mac and cheese, it is her go to comfort food. Here is a nice snack to use up any leftovers and make smiles in your home.


Here is my Mac & Cheese Recipe:
1 Box of Macaroni
1 Cup of Milk
3 Cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese or favorite cheese
1 ½ Tablespoon of Flour
2 Tablespoons  of Bacon Fat or Margarine
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Fill large sauce pan with water and bring to boil. Add Macaroni and cook until al dente.
In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat melt the bacon fat or margarine.
Slowly add the Flour stirring constantly.
Slowly add Milk, stirring constantly, then begin slowly adding the cheese.
Stir constantly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Strain the macaroni
Stir in the cheese sauce.

Now on to the fun!

10 shots (from the bottle not shot glasses) of Your Favorite Hot Sauce
½ Onion, chopped
6 Strips of Bacon, cut and crisped
1 Cup of Turkey Shredded

4 Cups of Italian Bread Crumbs
4 Large Eggs, Beaten
1 TBSP Milk
2 Cups of Flour

Stir the hot sauce, 2 eggs, onion, crumbled bacon, and shredded turkey into the mac and cheese. Spread into a baking pan to a 1 to 2” thickness. Place in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Cut the mac and cheese into squares. 1 ½ to 2” square. You will need three bowls for the breading process. One bowl should have the flour (add salt and pepper to taste), one should have the bread crumbs, and the last 2 eggs beaten plus the milk.

Preheat pan with cooking oil of your choice.

Coat a few squares at a time, first in the flour, then the egg, and finally the bread crumbs.

Fry on each side until lightly golden brown. Place on plate that has a paper towel on it to drain some of the oil off.
A deep fryer would work very well for this as well. Not everyone has one so the pan will work J

Enjoy!
