![]() I’m fairly certain that neither kid would be impressed with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. When Marty and I are both sick (like now), I want to have something prepared just in case. My husband’s cooking skills are better than theirs but he would still rather turn to frozen pizza or take out than make dinner. ![]() My kids are 16 and 20 and while they are old enough to cook, it’s not something that they do regularly enough to be able to put a meal together. Since that isn’t great for our health or my budget, I try hard to be prepared just in case. If I don’t plan ahead for sickness, I’m tempted on those nights to pick up a few frozen pizzas and call it an evening. There are nights that I really don’t want to be in the kitchen though, especially when I’m sick. I cook from scratch using healthy, whole ingredients for the most part. I look forward to spending time in the kitchen and trying new recipes. Most of the time, I really enjoy cooking. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I’m curious enough about freezing the mac and cheese that I’m trying it.Posts may be sponsored. I’m not sure I agree that this recipe couldn’t be reduced but there’s certainly nothing wrong with having some leftover mac and cheese around if you’re not needing this many sandwiches today or in the next few days. To quibble a bit more, I’m not sure the butter needed to be salted: cheese has plenty of salt already. To quibble a bit, the ingredients call for square bread, but the photo shows rectangular, and I went with rectangular because it provided the maximum surface area. ![]() For the record, I used whole-wheat bread and whole-wheat rotini (why not add flavor wherever you can?!) plus Colby Jack and Gruyère, and then Colby and a sharp Cheddar. Those pickles in the photo are almost a must to serve alongside this sandwich! Also, because I am a fan of fruits and vegetables, and because I like tomato in my grilled cheese and spinach in my mac and cheese, I’m eager to make this with one or both of these additions. Grilled cheese + mac and cheese-how could this be anything but warm and cheesy deliciousness?! This is the best of cheese and carbs! It’s not just 10-year-olds swooning to this! The sandwich is rich, very rich, very dairy rich. ![]()
