Mac and Cheese Bites Recipe

Check out my video for these awesome homemade snacks. My mac and cheese bites recipe is really easy to follow and is so tasty when served with sour cream.

1. Over a low heat, melt the butter in a saucepan then whisk in the plain flour to make a roux.
2. Pour in the milk and stir frequently for 15 minutes to thicken.
3. Meanwhile, boil some water in a separate saucepan and cook the macaroni pasta for 10 minutes.
4. When the white sauce has thickened, stir in the cheese until melted then set aside.
5. Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the bacon until crisp on both sides.
6. Cut the bacon into small chunks and set aside.
7. When the macaroni pasta is cooked, drain from the water through a colander.
8. Take the white sauce and stir in the macaroni and bacon.
9. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a heatproof bowl. Cover and leave to chill in the fridge.
10. Meanwhile, beat the egg in a bowl then mix in the breadcrumbs.
11. When the macaroni and cheese is cool, mix in the egg and breadcrumb mix
12. Roll out 15 balls from the mixture onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
13. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 200c/390f for 25-35 minutes.
14. When the mac and cheese bites are golden, crisp and the cheese has melted, take from the oven.

My mac and cheese bites are best enjoyed served straight away and taste delicious dipped in sour cream.
