Instructions:

Prepare the Mac 'n' Cheese Mixture:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

Shape the Bites:

• Using your hands, shape the mac 'n' cheese mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Coat the Bites:

• In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and garlic powder.
• Roll each mac 'n' cheese ball in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Preheat:

• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the Bites:

• Place the coated mac 'n' cheese bites in the EaZy MealZ crisper basket, ensuring they are not touching.
• Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through the cooking time.

Serve and Enjoy:

• Remove the bites from the crisper basket and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!

Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding cooked bacon bits or sautéed vegetables to the mac 'n' cheese mixture before shaping into balls.
