Homemade Mac & Cheese With Hot Dogs image

This quickly becomes everyone's favorite mac & cheese as soon as they try it. You can really use any kind of hot dogs (Kosher, turkey, whatever). You can also leave them out if you aren't a fan. It's still amazing mac & cheese.

3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated (Tillamook is best)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 1/2 cups warm milk
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

3 cups macaroni (I use brown rice penne)
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions for al dente. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour to the butter and cook for 1-2 mins then start slowly adding warm milk.

Time 30m

Yield 8 pancakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 2 tablespoons unmelted
1 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded yellow Cheddar
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • For the pancakes, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, mustard powder, paprika and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk in the buttermilk and egg until just smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Toss the macaroni with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl. Season with salt. Sprinkle with the Cheddar; toss to combine. Stir the macaroni mixture into the pancake batter.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle. Scoop the batter with a 1/2 cup measuring cup and add as many pancakes as will fit without crowding. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook to brown the other side, about 1 minute more.
  • Once all the pancakes are done, warm the syrup in a small saucepan. Serve the pancakes with the syrup and a sprinkling of chives.

Leftover macaroni and cheese just found a new home in sweet-and-savory pancakes. Make them for breakfast or dinner, and remember the addictive sweet heat of the hot sauce-maple syrup -- it's also great on waffles and fried chicken.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings (12 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for serving
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup buffalo-style hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
Kosher salt
2 cups prepared macaroni and cheese, cold or at room temperature
2 1/2 cups prepared pancake batter
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Turn off the heat and whisk in the maple syrup and hot sauce. Season with salt. Cover to keep warm.
  • Gently stir the macaroni and cheese into the pancake batter. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat.
  • Scoop 3 pancakes into the pan, about 1/3 cup each. Use the back of a spoon to lightly spread out the batter, making sure that there is enough space around each pancake so they do not touch. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cheddar on top of each pancake, using the back of a spoon to lightly press into the batter. Cook until there are a few bubbles around the edges of the pancakes and the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the cheese is completely melted and lightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
  • Carefully wipe out the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter and Cheddar, adding 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet for each new batch.
  • Serve the pancakes in stacks of 3 topped with the remaining butter and hot sauce-maple syrup mixture.
