Instead of frying, arrange them onto a baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F, for about 20-30 minutes. Simply, follow the same steps above up to frying the balls in the Dutch oven. Also, if you are not a fan of fried food, then baking is definitely a healthier option for you. While baking will not give them the same crispiness on the outside, they will end up similarly delicious.
If you don’t have leftovers, ensure to place the mac and cheese into the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours to firm up.
