All - purpose flour - 2 tablespoons

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Take small portions of the mac and cheese mixture and shape them into balls.
