Barbecue Mac Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Now, you can certainly serve this shredded beef on buns the traditional way, like you would pulled pork. But when you get tired of that? These grilled cheese sandwiches are here to save the day.

Cook5 minutes
Total10 minutes
Serves 12 sandwiches
Ingredients

I would make the slow cooker stew. Looks like a manly meal.

I would definitely go the Mexican route but use it for Enchiladas

I would use the KRAFT RECIPE MAKERS Verde Chicken Enchiladas to make a Mexican Cornbread Chicken Casserole
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
AH!! There’s a restaurant in town that makes a sandwich just like this. I’ve been meaning to recreate it at home, but you beat me to it!
Malinda says
I thought about doing the tex mex chicken fajita and the verde enchilada but this definitely trumps!!!!!! My family would devour this in a heartbeat!!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Heaven! I had mac and cheese on a burger the other day and it was amazing. Love the BBQ version!
Nicole | Feeding This Family says
I totally don’t want to be creative at all and let Kraft think for me, those Asian Fish Tacos are calling my name. Asian food, fish tacos, Mexican twist…my inner soul on a plate. I’m in love!
Jennifer s says
We are so going to make this!

My boys are going to jump the computer screen when I show them this!! Fabulous!
Karly says
Haha! That’s a fun visual! 🙂
Stephie @ eat your heart out says
SHUT the front door. Mac and cheese AND pulled bbq beef (I bet this would be great for pork shoulder, too) on the same dang sandwich?? The only problem with this is that I would probably end up wearing it in trying to eat it. But the mess would totally be worth it. Holy cow.
Karly says
Yes, it’s definitely a bit messy, especially for me since I always wear my food anyway! 😉
Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl says
So I showed this recipe to my husband and he fainted. But he’s ok now, just wanted to let you know.
I’m in love, this is on. I cannot wait!
Karly says
Whew. Glad the man is okay now. 🙂
Joanne says
This was probably part of the reason I gave away my slow cooker a few years ago. The smells were haunting me!
Karly says
Right?!
Emily says
The kids I nanny for would loveee this!
Tracy | Pale Yellow says
At the Barclay Center in Brooklyn they serve mac & cheese with bbq brisket! Amazing!!!! Totally a reason to go to a basketball game, this sandwich looks like a great substitute!
Karly says
Ooh, that sounds amazing! I love a good brisket!
