Homemade Cheese Sticks

Mmm...another great snacky food idea for the big game on Sunday!

1 lb Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Swiss or mozzarella cheese, cut into 3x1/2-inch sticks
Vegetable oil
1 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
Marinara sauce, if desired

1. Place cheese sticks on tray; freeze at least 1 hour.

2. Heat 2 inches of oil to 375ºF in large heavy saucapan or follow manufacturer's direction on deep fryer. Beat Bisquick mix, paprika, milk and egg until smooth. Dip cheese, 1 stick at a time, into batter, covering cheese completely.

3. Fry 8 to 10 sticks at a time 1 to 2 minutes, turning carefully, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with marinara sauce.
