Bob Evans Macaroni & Cheese

Instructions

Cook sausage, onions, bell pepper, and garlic in 1 Tbsp hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender.
Spoon into a large bowl. Stir in macaroni and cheese, Creole seasoning, 1 egg, and 1½ cups breadcrumbs.
Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
Form macaroni & cheese mixture into 2-inch balls.
Lightly beat 2 eggs in a shallow dish. Place remaining breadcrumbs in a shallow dish, and place flour in a third shallow dish.
Dredge macaroni & cheese fritters in flour. Dip in beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Dredge in breadcrumbs to coat.
Meanwhile, pour oil to a depth of 4 inches in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat to 360°F.
Fry fritters 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack set over paper towels. Serve with remoulade sauce, for dipping.

Note: Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
