Mac Attack Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl combine ingredients for special sauce. Set aside.
• 2. In a medium skillet on medium heat brown ground beef. Drain grease and add back to skillet. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 3. Pour drained beef into an 8X8 baking dish.
• 4. Slice refrigerated biscuits so that you have 10 equal round halves.
• 5. Sprinkle cheese over ground beef.
• 6. Top with 9 biscuit halves. (The 10th half can be cooks treat)
• 7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place casserole in oven and bake until biscuits are done 30 minutes.
• 8. While casserole is baking, prep lettuce, pickles, and onion.
• 9. To serve place shredded lettuce, top with pickle and onion slices. Spoon special sauce over veggies. Spoon a portion of casserole on top. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, pickle relish, ketchup, minced onion, olive oil, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make sauce. Refrigerate until flavors combine, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat a large grill pan over medium heat. Cook hamburger patties, turning occasionally, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Chop patties into bite-sized pieces.
• Toss chopped hamburger patties, salad greens, Cheddar cheese, diced onion, and pickle chips in a large bowl. Top with sauce before serving.

Steps:

• Boil the pasta until cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain out the water and place the pasta back into the pot. Take the sliced cheeses and cube them. In a separate saucepan, fry the onions in the butter until translucent and soft. Add the flour and whisk repeatedly, making a roux, until the mixture is golden brown. Add in the milk and let simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally so it does not burn or stick. When the sauce starts to thicken, add in the American, Cheddar, Romano and 4 ounces of the Cheddar Jack. Stir until the cheeses melt and make a thick cheese sauce. Stir in the salt and black pepper, and pour the sauce over the pasta. Add the hot sauce, and mix thoroughly until the pasta is completely mixed with the sauce. Place in the refrigerator and let cool. Take the ground beef and make 4 ounce patties. (Sprinkle with salt and pepper if you wish). In a fry pan or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the burgers to your desired temperature. In a separate fry pan, make four 4-ounce portions of the mac and cheese, placing them flat in the pan. (Like little mac and cheese pancakes). Warm them up and cover them with the remaining Cheddar Jack. The cheese should melt and become crispy on the bottom. Using a spatula, place the mac and cheese discs on top of the burger, and then top with 2 strips of bacon on each. Put the burger on the bun and enjoy your very own Mac Attack!

Steps:

• In a large pot, prepare pasta very al dente, cooking for about half of the time indicated on the package. Drain well and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine turkey, ketchup, and onion. Mix well. Add frozen cauliflower and cheese sauce and gently mix. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker.
• Add cooked pasta to the slow cooker and gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, until the turkey is fully cooked.
• Add cheese wedges and scallions, and stir until evenly distributed.
• If you like, season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dig in!
