Steps:

  • Melt the 4 Tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a dutch oven or large skillet.

  • Lower the heat and whisk in the evaporated milk, chicken broth, salt, pepper, mustard, onion powder, and garlic.
  • Raise the heat back to medium and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. It should be slightly thickened.
  • Turn the heat off and immediately whisk in the cheese, a little at a time.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 cups prepared macaroni and cheese, warmed
2 onions, thinly sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 cups prepared pulled pork
8 slices buttermilk or white bread
12 slices sharp cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Put 6 tablespoons butter and the mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
  • Spread the macaroni and cheese in an 8-inch-square baking dish to about 3/4 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 45 minutes. Cut the macaroni and cheese into squares that are slightly smaller than the bread slices.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the barbecue sauce and pulled pork in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Generously spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread slice. Flip over half of the bread slices; layer 1 slice of cheddar, 1 macaroni-and-cheese square and another slice of cheddar on each. Top each with one-quarter of the pulled pork and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side.
