GRILLED MAC AND CHEESE WITH PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Put 6 tablespoons butter and the mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
• Spread the macaroni and cheese in an 8-inch-square baking dish to about 3/4 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 45 minutes. Cut the macaroni and cheese into squares that are slightly smaller than the bread slices.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the barbecue sauce and pulled pork in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Generously spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread slice. Flip over half of the bread slices; layer 1 slice of cheddar, 1 macaroni-and-cheese square and another slice of cheddar on each. Top each with one-quarter of the pulled pork and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side.

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH PORK, FIRE-ROASTED TOMATOES AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off (for indirect heat to finish the tenderloin). Line part of the direct-heat side with foil. Combine the granulated garlic, mustard and 3 teaspoons salt in a small bowl, and rub all over the tenderloin. Generously oil the uncovered grill grates, and grill the tenderloin over direct heat (not on the foil), turning occasionally, until well marked, about 12 minutes. Move the tenderloin to the indirect heat, cover with the lid and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, about 14 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest a few minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and tomatoes with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill on the foil, turning occasionally, until the tomatoes are charred and starting to burst, 6 to 10 minutes, and the broccoli is charred and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the tomatoes in half. Bring the half-and-half and macaroni to a boil in a large pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook, stirring, until the macaroni is tender and the half-and-half has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the Cheddar, butter and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Add the grilled pork and vegetables, stirring to incorporate. The mixture will thicken as it sits; adjust the consistency as needed with hot water before serving.

SMOKEHOUSE PORK CHOPS WITH MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• For the mac and cheese: Bring the chicken stock and 12 cups water to a boil in a pasta pot over high heat. Add the macaroni and 1 tablespoon salt. Cook until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add 1 cup of the heavy cream. Whisk together the flour and remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small bowl until free of lumps. When you start to see tendrils of steam rising from the warming cream, whisk in the flour-cream mixture. Cook, whisking gently, until the sauce has returned to the consistency of heavy cream, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the heat to low and begin mixing handfuls of cheese into the sauce. Stir in the nutmeg, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Fold in the bacon or lobster if using. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• In a large serving bowl, combine the pasta and half of the cheese sauce, stirring to coat the pasta evenly. Stir in the remaining sauce.
• For the pork chops: In a bowl, mix together the chipotles, brown sugar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, ginger, onion powder, garlic, 2 tablespoons sea salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Pour half the mixture into a large bowl; add the pork chops, turning to coat in the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally, or for maximum flavor, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Refrigerate and reserve the remaining marinade.
• Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess; discard the marinade. Lightly oil the skillet, then immediately add the chops. Cook, using the rosemary sprigs to baste with the reserved marinade, until the meat is well-browned and crisp on the outside and no longer pink inside, 8 to 10 minutes per side -- a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F.
• Pour the remaining reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Serve the chops with the sauce and the mac and cheese.
