Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb macaroni
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz shredded parmesan cheese
8 oz american cheese, cubed
12 oz whole milk
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
vegetable oil, for frying
1 ½ lb ground beef, formed into hamburger patties
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
red onion, sliced, to serve
tomato, sliced, to serve

Steps:

  • Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Drain the macaroni in a colander and return to the pot.
  • Add butter, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, American cheese, milk, salt, mustard powder, cayenne to the pot. Turn heat up to medium-low and stir until cheeses are melted and all ingredients are well combined.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and pour onto a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Spread evenly with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once cooled, use a ring mold or rounded container roughly 4-inches (10 cm) in diameter to cut out 6-8 "buns."
  • Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in three separate bowls.
  • Dip each macaroni bun in flour, then egg, and finally bread crumbs, coating evenly.
  • Preheat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the macaroni buns gently in oil and fry 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined plate.
  • Season hamburger patties liberally with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, sear patties to desired doneness, flipping halfway through.
  • Place burger between two mac and cheese buns and top with sliced onions and tomatoes.
