Bring the sauce to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.Add the shredded macaroni and cheese mixture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted.Remove from the heat and pour the cheese sauce over the pasta.Drizzle a 6-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray. Spoon the macaroni and cheese into the pan, tamping it down slightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the macaroni and cheese is completely cooled.Pour the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs into three separate shallow bowls. Cut the chilled macaroni and cheese into 16 pieces, cutting the pan 4 timesRoll each macaroni and cheese as follows: first lightly roll in flour, then dip in eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs.Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
