Well, a Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich was new to me this weekend. My teenager came home talking about it, and by the next day had made some for the little kids. I guess it is all the rage?
Basically, you take Mac & Cheese and wait for it… wait for it… yep, you put it on some bread and grill it like a grilled cheese sandwich! 🙂
Here are some directions to get you started.
