Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot, add the Cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture.

Wow! My husband is a mac n cheese aholic! I haven't deep fried anything in years, so this was a challenge..but so worth it! The mac n cheese alone is the best stuff I've ever put in my mouth. I worked out at the gym for 1.5 hours and ate like a bird all day to prep for this treat, but it made our night! We had it as part of our Easter meal, I had to sit on my hands to keep from snacking it..hahahahaha. Thanks for your recipes and your shows. Thanks for inspiring me to get in the kitchen and learn to love cooking. You and your family make me smile and laugh. I look forward to each and every show, thanks can never say enough!!
