Recipes:
Mac and Cheese Burger
Ingredients:
For the Burger:
2 beef patties (about 1/4 lb each)
2 brioche buns
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Mac and Cheese:
2 cups elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the macaroni: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the mac and cheese: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy. Combine with the cooked macaroni and stir until well-coated.
Cook the burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the burgers reach your desired doneness.
Toast the buns: Lightly butter the inside of the brioche buns and toast them on a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burger: Place a beef patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Spoon a generous amount of mac and cheese onto the patty. Top with the other half of the bun.
This mac and cheese burger combines the savory flavors of a juicy beef patty with creamy, cheesy pasta for an indulgent and comforting meal.
