About Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich
The Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich combines two American comfort foods: macaroni and cheese is packed between two slices of buttered bread, often with extra cheese, and grilled in a pan until the bread is golden and crisp.
It is a great way to use leftover mac and cheese, which firms up when chilled and is easy to slice. As the sandwich cooks, the cheese melts again, holding the macaroni together.
The sandwich became popular at food trucks, diners and grilled cheese shops across the United States in the 2000s. Variations add bacon, pulled pork, jalapeños or tomato, and it is often served with tomato soup.
