Macaroni & Cheese Burgers

Category: Recipes

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. ground beef
2 Tbsp. butter
2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. uncooked elbow macaroni
1 lb. shredded American cheese
2 cups water
2 tsp. mustard powder
1/2 tsp. white pepper

BUILD:
Form 4 hamburger patties. Season each with a pinch of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder. Cover and refrigerate until later. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow three-quart baking dish, toss uncooked macaroni and melted butter together, to coat the macaroni and the inside of the dish. Add cheese and stir lightly. In a medium bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, water, eggs, mustard powder, salt and white pepper. Pour into the baking dish to cover the macaroni. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. During the last 15 minutes of bake time, remove hamburger patties from refrigerator and grill to preferred doneness. Serve each patty on a lightly toasted bun with an ice cream scooper-sized mound of mac n' cheese directly on top. Accompany with dill pickles, fries and desired condiments.
