Grilled Mac & Cheese with BBQ Meat Slices

Ingredients:

Unsalted butter                                                4 tablespoon

Macaroni and cheese                                     2 cup

Cheddar Cheese                                              100 grams

Onion (thin sliced)                                           2 whole

Barbecue sauce                                                4 tablespoon

Ground pepper                                                1 tablespoon

Salt                                                                         to taste

French bread                                                     4 slices

Sliced meat (fried)                                           4 slices

Method:

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 2 tablespoon 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 sliced meat in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Preheat the grill pan to medium-high heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush 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 meat slice and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 5 minutes.
