Mac and Cheeseburger

Move over, ramen burger — there's a new sheriff in town! Mix the cold noodles with an egg to help bind them together, then form into buns, refrigerate for about 30 minutes and cook in a nonstick skillet. Then just add your burger patty, top with all the fixings and you're good to go. First ramen, now macaroni and cheese — who knows what the next pasta-burger phenomenon will be?

Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich

After your first bite you’ll wonder why you never thought of this before. Use crunchy taco shells to hold all of this deliciousness and provide some textural contrast to the pasta.
