Burger Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mac n Cheese

    Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the cheese sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring to a simmer. Add in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burger

    Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into patties and grill or pan-fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add the bacon slices to the pan to crisp up.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread buffalo sauce on the bottom half of the brioche bun. Place the burger patty on the bun, top with crispy bacon, and then generously spoon the mac n cheese on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Mac N Cheese Burger!
