This was a blast, and such a tasty treat! I sub'd Italian breadcrumbs for the Panko (I think Italian breadcrumbs have so much more flavor!) and did use boxed macaroni w/a lil bit of shredded cheese mixed in. Sooooo tasty, and so much fun to watch my boyfriend squirm trying to figure out what I was doing! I will make this so long as my metabolism keeps! Thanks!

I just finished making these with our leftover Thanksgiving Baked Macaroni (also from this site!) and they are fabulous! I used chili powder and fried for about 1.5 minutes and it was perfect. Like someone else said, its not quite like the fast food equivalents (which is all I've ever had), but I think its better!

I just made some tonight with some leftover mac and cheese and it was very good. the only thing I did differently, instead of frying in hot oil I cooked mine in a frying pan with some butter and got it nice & crispy. I would make this again the next time I have leftover mac and cheese.

Excellent! I used a box of Stouffers Frozen Mac and Cheese. I cut the frozen mac and cheese into squares. I did add 1 tsp of cayenne pepper to breadcrumbs also! I will definitely make again!!! YUM!
