    If you want them to sound fancier, you could call these mac and cheese balls “American arancini”, after the stuffed Italian rice balls. These can be shaped a couple of days in advance – the kitchen might get a little messy – and fried just before your guests arrive.

    170g uncooked streaky bacon, diced
    280g elbow macaroni
    ²∕³ cup ready-made cheese sauce
    1 tsp salt or to taste

    2 cups flour
    2 cups seasoned dry breadcrumbs
