MAC AND CHEESE BUN BURGERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Drain the macaroni in a colander and return to the pot.
• Add butter, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, American cheese, milk, salt, mustard powder, cayenne to the pot. Turn heat up to medium-low and stir until cheeses are melted and all ingredients are well combined.
• Remove the pot from the heat and pour onto a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Spread evenly with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Once cooled, use a ring mold or rounded container roughly 4-inches (10 cm) in diameter to cut out 6-8 "buns."
• Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in three separate bowls.
• Dip each macaroni bun in flour, then egg, and finally bread crumbs, coating evenly.
• Preheat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
• Place the macaroni buns gently in oil and fry 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined plate.
• Season hamburger patties liberally with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, sear patties to desired doneness, flipping halfway through.
• Place burger between two mac and cheese buns and top with sliced onions and tomatoes.

MAC 'N' CHEESE WAFFLE BURGERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the mac 'n' cheese waffles: In a large bowl, combine the mac 'n' cheese, flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, salt, black pepper, eggs, and cheddar cheese. (If you are using cold mac 'n' cheese, microwave briefly to loosen up for easier mixing). Mix well to combine.
• Heat the waffle iron to medium-high heat or 375°F (190°C).
• Scoop ¾ cup of the mac 'n' cheese mixture into each of the waffle divots. Close the waffle iron and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy all over. Remove the waffles from the iron (cutting into individual waffles with kitchen shears for easier removal) and repeat with the remaining mac 'n' cheese mixture. You should have 8 waffles total.
• Meanwhile, make the burger sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, onion, sweet relish, white vinegar, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until bubbling. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until light golden brown, whisking continuously to prevent burning. Pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Cook for 2-4 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent burning, until slightly thickened and steaming. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the cheese and salt until melted and smooth.
• Transfer the sauce to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup and use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Generously season the ground beef patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness.
• Assemble the burgers: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the burger sauce onto a mac 'n' cheese waffle. Top with 2-4 pickle slices, ½ cup shredded lettuce, a burger patty, ¼-⅓ cup cheese sauce, 2 slices of bacon, and another mac 'n' cheese waffle. Repeat to make the remaining burgers.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Mix together using your hands until ingredients are barely combined (be sure to not overmix because then the hamburgers will become dense).
• Form the mixture into 8 patties. Be sure to make them a little larger than the patties that you plan to use because ground beef shrinks when it cooks.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate and place patties on top of grill.
• Grill patties until no longer pink on the inside or until they reach desired doneness (I usually grill mine for about 5 minutes on each side).
• Place cooked burger on a hamburger bun and top with favorite toppings.
