200g Leftover Mac & Cheese

150g Macaroni
1.5L Water
50g Butter
50g Flour
200ml Milk
50ml Cream
Dash of Blenders Hot Sauce

½ tsp Blenders Vegetable Bouillon Paste

Method

Step 1:

Bring 1.5L of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt.Step 2:

Add 150g of macaroni and cook for 7 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside if using fresh macaroni.

Step 3:

For the mac and cheese sauce, melt 50g of butter in a pan, then add 50g of flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, followed by a splash of cream. Stir in Blenders Vegetable Bouillon Paste, Blenders Hot Sauce, and mature red cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add the cooked macaroni (or leftover mac and cheese) to the sauce, stirring for 1-2 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5: Heat a small amount of butter in a pan over medium heat.

Step 6: Spread a thin layer of Blenders American Mustard on one side of each slice of bread. Spoon the mac and cheese mixture onto on top, then top with the other slice to form a sandwich.

Step 7: Fry the sandwich in the pan, pressing lightly to ensure it crisps up. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
