Yesterday I had a hankering for the rich creamy rich goodness that is stovetop macaroni and cheese. Don't get me started on the oven-baked kind, which I view as an unholy curdled slab of evil. I'm sure there could be fabulous versions out there--I've just never had one.
Anyway. I use a recipe which calls for sharp cheddar, evaporated milk, dry mustard, and which has the power to warm and cuddle you in the manner of a cashmere-sweater-clad George Clooney. Ladies, you try and tell me you wouldn't want summa that.
I looked online to find what other amazing cheeses I could add to the mix and saw what I at first thought must be a joke. It's called Deep Fried Mac & Cheese, and is possibly proof that Paula Deen want to kill us all. I nearly threw up reading this, but I'm sure there are people who love it. I used to work with a lady who was Paula's biggest fan. She spent more time at the doctor's office than she did at work. This no longer seems strange to me, considering:
| Here's the recipe: Peanut oil, for frying 1 recipe "The Lady's Cheesy Mac" prepared, chilled in the refrigerator overnight, and cut into 15 bite-sized squares, recipe follows Flour, for dredging 1 egg, beaten Plain bread crumbs, for dredging Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Dredge each Cheesy Mac square in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs to coat. Fry for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving. |
Yeah, I said it.
