yes that’s what you think it is

This is pan fried macaroni and cheese “toast” (in seasoned canned breadcrumbs rather than panko because we ran out).

That means I took slabs of leftover macaroni and cheese, breaded them, and fried them in oil until the outside was crispy and the inside was gooey and hot.

But it’s okay. Because we ate it with apples.

The macaroni and cheese recipe is the one I always make and the one I grew up eating. It’s on the back of the Mueller’s box. I tend to add about twice as much cheese as it calls for because I like my macaroni and cheese to be extra cheesy.

Also I didn’t deep fry it like Alton Brown and Paula Deen do. I just pan fried it in about an inch of oil in the cast iron skillet. I figured if the oil came halfway up the slab of mac and cheese then it would get crispy enough without being fully submerged. That makes it good for me, too, right?

That was one of the tastiest things I have ever consumed. Ever. Seriously. And while it has to be a gazillion calories I’m thinking it’s a safe bet that it’s better for you than a big mac.
