I know folks are on a anti-Paul kick now. I get it. It's just I really wanted to tried making fried mac and cheese balls. You see I really love mac and cheese and once I tried a fried mac and cheese ball it was so heavenly. Don't worry I don't plan on making either recipe a regular dinner or lunch option. The recipe was very easy and the results tasty!
