Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mac & Cheese

    Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Mix in the cooked macaroni, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Take two slices of Texas toast. Place one slice of Swiss cheese, followed by a generous amount of mac & cheese, and top with one slice of Colby cheese. Cover with another slice of Texas toast.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, adding more butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
