I made this great comfort sandwich for my niece this week and she loved it. I don't like doing box Mac n Cheese so I build a classic french based cheese sauce from one of the five mother sauces (Bechamel) and then build the sandwich. It's also great with hot dogs or pulled pork and I've done all three versions and even done bacon and hot dogs together.
The secret to the "Grill" is pre-grill the bread to light golden and then load it up to finish and press down with a pan or in a pannini maker. Ingredients Homemade Mac and Cheese -Bechamel based cheese sauce (see below) 8 slices country white bread, buttered 8 slices thick-cut smoked bacon, cooked 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch slices, optional Hot sauce, such as Frank's, optional Mac and Cheese: One box elbow macaroni Kosher salt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 cups milk 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar 1/2 cup Parm 1/2 cup Romano Splash hot sauce, or pinch of cayenne Freshly ground black pepper
