Robots…made out of macaroni and cheese! What’s not to like? And if these ’bots try to take over the world, you can just eat them.
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
1 bag Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese
Ingredients called for on bag
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Cut veggies, olives, and pretzels for decorating
Marinara sauce for dipping
Directions:
1. Prepare the macaroni and cheese as directed, but discard the enclosed breadcrumbs.
Let cool slightly and then scoop into an 8-inch square or similar size rectangle storage container.
Press down to make compact; make the top even and smooth. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with foil and then spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Remove the storage container from the refrigerator and cut the cold mac and cheese into about 8 to 10 squares and circles.
Quickly dip and roll each shape in the beaten eggs, making sure all the sides are covered.
Next, roll in the breadcrumbs to coat completely and then place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat until all the shapes are coated.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly sizzling and golden. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
5. Decorate with cut veggies, olives, and pretzels to make your robots. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
