I do not know any child who is not a true lover of croquettes (as long as they do not have onion, of course, if they cannot end up in a vase, and I say this from experience). However, not everyone is good at making a béchamel optimal and consistent to be able to form the croquettes without falling apart.

However, I am going to talk to you today about a super simple croquettes recipe, which does contain béchamel, but the production process that it admits along with minced meat is very different, so we have assured success.

Ingredients

250 gr. mixed minced meat (pork and beef)
3 slices of bacon
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of flour
Milk
Bread crumbs
Olive oil
Sal Island
Nutmeg (optional)

Preparation

We will start by frying the minced meat and the chopped bacon in a pan, with a drizzle of olive oil and salt. When it is well done, we will add the flour to the pan, sprinkling it on top, and we will give it a few turns with a spoon until it is well distributed among the meat and it is slightly toasted. Then we will proceed to add milk little by little. It will be time to rectify the salt and add the nutmeg if it is to our liking.
Thanks to the meat, no lumps will form, and the béchamel will make itself, as if by magic. It is important to add the milk little by little and stir slowly until we see that a kind of béchamel is actually formed, without it becoming liquid. When it reaches the texture that we consider suitable for making the croquettes, we will remove it from the heat and let it cool in the fridge for about an hour.
After that time we will take it out of the fridge and with the help of a spoon we will form some little piles that will be our croquettes. We will then pass them through breadcrumbs and give them the shape, then through the beaten egg, and, finally, again through the breadcrumbs. In this way they will be much more crunchy.
With the modeled croquettes, all we need to do is fry them little by little in plenty of hot oil so that they don't stick to each other and become good on all sides. Be careful, they burn quickly and you have to be very careful.
