Description
Prepare to have your taste buds blown away by these mouthwatering Monster BBQ Bacon Mac and Cheese Loaded Grilled Cheese Bombs! This epic fusion of comforting mac and cheese, smoky BBQ, and melty grilled cheese is the ultimate indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked macaroni
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 8 slices of thick bread
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cooked pulled pork (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and BBQ sauce until well combined.
2. Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices butter-side down on a skillet. Top each with a generous scoop of the mac and cheese mixture, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese and pulled pork, if using. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
3. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and oozing.
4. Carefully remove the Monster BBQ Bacon Mac and Cheese Loaded Grilled Cheese Bombs from the skillet, slice them in half, and garnish with the chopped green onions.
Notes
Opt for a robust, tangy BBQ sauce and freshly shredded cheeses for maximum flavor and melty goodness.
While the classic combination of BBQ, bacon, and mac and cheese is hard to beat, you can certainly get creative with these bombs. Try swapping out the cheddar cheese for a different variety, like pepper jack or gouda, for a unique twist.
