Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mac and Cheese

    In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni and mix well. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Grilled Cheese

    Butter one side of each slice of Texas toast. On the unbuttered side of two slices, add a generous scoop of the mac and cheese. Place another slice of Texas toast on top, buttered side facing out.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using optional toppings, add them to the mac and cheese before grilling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve warm.
