Fried Mac and Cheese Balls
  1. Prepare macaroni and cheese dinner mix according to package directions, including any milk and butter. Stir in shredded cheese until melted. Chill, covered, until firm, 2 hours or up to overnight.

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop macaroni and cheese into 1½-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Freeze, uncovered, 1 hour.

  3. Place eggs in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish stir together panko, seasoned bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder. Dip macaroni balls into eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then press into panko mixture to coat. Generously coat balls with cooking spray.

  4. Working in batches if needed, arrange balls in a single layer in air-fryer basket (do not overcrowd). Cook at 350°F for 9 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until golden. If using, in a small bowl stir together ketchup and sriracha. Serve with balls.
