Grilled Mac n Cheese Sandwich with Bacon image

Bacon and mac & cheese rolled into one sandwich... pure decadence and deliciousness. The outside is buttery and a little crisp from the cheese. Inside, creamy mac & cheese and a smoky flavor from the bacon. Although great alone, this would be yummy with a little bowl of tomato soup too. Total comfort food!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box macaroni and cheese, prepared; leftovers are perfect.
sliced bread
4 slice bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
shredded cheddar cheese
butter to spread

Steps:

  • 1. Make mac and cheese with milk and butter according to directions on the box. If using cold leftovers, heat a tad in microwave, then combine with the crumbled cooked bacon.
  • 2. Heat a non-stick griddle or sauté pan on med-high heat.
  • 3. Butter one side of one bread slice. Sprinkle shredded cheese onto the buttered side of the bread with the intention that most of the cheese will stick to the butter.
  • 4. Lay the slice, cheese side down on the hot pan. Some cheese may fall away. It might be a tad messy. That's ok.
  • 5. Load a pile of the mac & cheese mixture onto the top of the bread slice in the pan. Spread out evenly on the bread.
  • 6. Top with a second slice of bread. Press down a little with a spatula on the top bread. Spread butter on the top of the top slice of bread, and sprinkle more shredded cheese on it, like you did the first slice.
  • 7. Toast on med heat the first side of the sandwich until golden. Don't burn the cheese. Flip over the sandwich with a spatula onto the second side. Again some of your cheese on the second side may fall a bit or be messy. This is ok. Brown the second side. Ready to serve.
