Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Mac & Cheese

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the cooked macaroni and mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, pan-fry the smoked sausage links until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and slice lengthwise.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread Dijon mustard on the inside of each hoagie bun. Place a sausage link inside each bun and top generously with the mac & cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm, with extra Dijon mustard on the side if desired.
