My mother used to make a big ole baking dish of homemade macaroni and cheese and it was good...but, I liked it when she took the leftovers and fried it until crispy, and I would put ketchup on it....YUMMY!!!

That sounds like the "fried Macaroni and Cheese" mentioned in the Alton Brown recipe, which I assume is the second recipe he provided a link for:

Next Day Mac and Cheese "Toast"

Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show:	Good Eats
Episode:	For Whom the Cheese Melts 2

Leftover baked macaroni and cheese, refrigerated for at least overnight
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 egg beaten with 2 ounces water
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Oil for deep frying, preheated to 375 degreesCut refrigerated macaroni and cheese into slices or bite size pieces.

Season the flour with salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge each piece through the flour and gently tap off excess. Dip in the egg wash and then coat with the bread crumbs. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes so the crust can set. Very carefully drop into the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Take a metal spatula and scrape what is left over off the floor after you stomped on the sandwich.

Oh..no, that is "gourmet" fried mac and cheese.

My Mom was a country cook...she just threw that bunch of cold macaroni of cheese into a skillet with a little bit of milk, and fried, stirring frequently, until browned.
