Mac & Cheese cutlet
These cutlets are made with leftover macaroni and cheese however you can make them from scratch. You can also make it from boxed macaroni and cheese by simply following the instructions on the box. I basically added mashed potatoes and a few spices to make this awesome cutlet. You can make and freeze them and serve when the kids are hungry. It also makes for a great snack at tea time. Just take them out, fry them, and voila you have a dish to make everyone happy.
