directions
Directions:
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and pour macaroni and cheese into it. Use a spatula to spread evenly and place in your Kenmore fridge until chilled (about 2 hours). Butter one side of the white bread and place the American cheese on the non-buttered side. Then cut a piece of the chilled mac and cheese that is slightly smaller to fit onto bread. Top with 2 slices of bacon (I break mine into smaller pieces) then butter remaining slice and place butter side up on sandwich. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium high heat and add 2-3 Tbsp. of parmesan cheese. Place the sandwich on top of the cheese and cook for 2 minutes per side. Before flipping the sandwich, add another handful of parmesan cheese to the skillet then flip the sandwich on top. Cook for 1 more minute then finish in a *450 degree oven for 5-6 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and gooey.
