We paired two American favorites to make one outrageously good summer recipe. Our Mac & Cheese Burger is a big juicy burger that’s topped with lettuce, pickles, bacon, and…macaroni and cheese! Make these burgers at your next cookout and we’re sure you’ll have the most interesting burgers on the block!

What You’ll Need

1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (12-ounce) container frozen macaroni and cheese
4 hamburger rolls
Lettuce for garnish
Pickle chips for garnish
4 strips bacon, cooked until crispy, cut in half

What to Do

Preheat a grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine beef, steak sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form meat mixture into 4 equal patties.
Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions, set aside. Meanwhile, cook burgers 8 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness, turning halfway through.
Place lettuce on rolls, top with burgers, macaroni and cheese, pickles and bacon. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you are cooking the burgers on the grill, you can put the macaroni and cheese in either an aluminum pan or cast iron skillet and keep it warm right near the burgers!

A meal in itself! All ya need is dessert, and here’s one we thought you’d like: our Mixed Berry Bars.
