Grilled *Mac and Cheese with Pulled Pork* Cheese

When I was in college, my roommate Teddy and I would look at this website called "this is why you're fat.com".  It is basically a site where people make up the most ridiculous food combinations, take pictures, and send them in (they have actually made a book of this site, which you can buy, here).  We would look at the different combinations of food and just laugh at the ridiculousness of it.  When I saw this recipe come into my inbox from Food Network, I knew I had to make it for Chris, because those are 3 of his favorite foods.  I only took a few bites, but Chris said the combination of the three different dishes worked real well together.  He could only eat one sandwich.  How many can you eat?


Ingredients:


3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 box of Kraft Mac and Cheese
2 onions, caramelized
BBQ pulled pork
4 slices of white bread
4 slices of cheddar cheese


Directions:


Spread newly cooked Mac and Cheese in an 8-inch baking dish.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 45 minutes.  Cut the Mac and Cheese into 4 squares.


Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.


Soften butter and mix with mayo.  Generously spread the butter-mayo mixture on one side of each bread slice.  Place bread spread side down on skillet, then add cheddar cheese, Mac and Cheese square, pulled pork, caramelized onions, second piece of cheddar cheese, and then top with bread, spread side up.


Cook sandwiches until cheese melts and bread is golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.


Eat. Me.
