Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwiches

If you’ve followed AMFT for any amount of time, you know that I love to recreate my favorite restaurant dishes at home (and then share with y’all). It’s fun to do…some times I put my own spin on the dish and other times, I try to copy it as close as I can. This recipe is as close to the original as I can get without actually asking for the recipe.

A couple months ago, you might remember that I attended Phoenix Cooks, a huge foodie event here in Phoenix. Well, I recreated my favorite recipe from the event, Pineapple Mint Sorbet from District American Kitchen. Last month, I was invited to attend a tasting of District American Kitchen’s fall menu. There was so much good food, but my favorite was the dish that I ordered, the Grilled Macaroni & Cheese Sandwich. Talk about comfort food with a twist. In fact..that’s pretty much the whole concept of the restaurant.

I knew I had to recreate this dish!

It is really easy to put together and takes less than 30 minutes for this hearty meal. The addition of the meat makes it a meal in my book! Be warned though…this is a knife a fork sandwich!

Yep…that’s pretty much it…there are few other minor ingredients like milk and flour, but this is it folks!

I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this baby…
