Step aside traditional grilled cheese, this BBQ Mac & Cheese Sandwich means business. With chipotle cheddar, BBQ chicken, and mac & cheese between two slices of Texas toast.
Not only is April Grilled Cheese Month but today is Grilled Cheese Day! Seems a bit overkill to have a day within the same month in which is it celebrated but I will never complain about any excuse to have cheese.
I decided to match the intensity of a double holiday with a loaded grilled cheese sandwich inspired by “The Mempho” from a restaurant in Memphis called Patrick’s. Since I moved, I sometimes go through Memphis-food withdrawal and now you get to reap the benefits of my recreation attempts.
This trip down taste-bud-memory lane involves a grilled cheese sandwich with pulled BBQ pork, Swiss cheese, mac and cheese, and caramelized onions all sandwiched between two slices of Texas-style bread. Using my slow cooker BBQ recipe, I made mine with pulled BBQ chicken (cooked with onion in it), chipotle cheddar cheese, and garlic butter Texas toast instead! And of course since that isn’t enough there’s still plenty of mac and cheese sandwiched in there as well.
The recipe makes one sandwich (it is Single Serving Sunday after all) but I trust your math skills are sufficient enough to make more if needed.
Want some other grilled cheese inspiration? Or feeling a bit timid to tackle this one? Try my grilled three cheese sandwich, grilled mac & cheese sandwich, or caprese salad grilled cheese sandwich.

[…] there and get cheesed! I failed to observe this holiday on my blog last year but I guess after the creation I shared two years ago I felt like I couldn’t top it. I have to admit that this one cannot compare with The Mempho […]

COME TO MOMMA. Is all I have to say about this.
Single Serving Sunday – HA! I love it. Funnily enough, I made grilled cheese bites today and didn’t even know that it was National Grilled Cheese Day until I read your post! And darn, too, because I totally would’ve made this version. This looks scrumdiddlyumptious to boot, girl!
