Mac and Cheese Stuffed Burger


Ingredients
mac and cheese
1/2 lbs macaroni cooked
1/2-1 shallot
2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp corn starch
1 C half n half
6 oz shredded cheese blend I use sharp cheddar, cloth bound cheddar and gruyere
Salt and White pepper to taste
3 oz extra shredded cheese
Caramelized onions and pepper
1 large onion
1 large pablano pepper
Burger
3 lbs ground chuck
Seasoned salt
pepper
onion powder
6 slices pepper jack cheese or another cheese you like for melting on top
brioche buns


Instructions
Mac and cheese
in a saucepan on med/low heat melt the butter and add the shallots - cook until fragrent
add the flour and stir - cooking until the roux is a light tan
then add the half n half (I just make my own with milk and cream since I always have both on hand) and stir until thick
take off the heat and add the cheese - stir until melted
then take out some of the sauce - about 1/2-2/3rds cup - to top your burgers with later
add the noodles and stir
add the extra cheese (optional - for cheese chunks) and spread out in the bottom of a pan - I made a double batch in the video but you could use a 9x13 pan for this size batch - refrigerate until firm - 2 hours
Caramelized onion and pepper
over medium heat add some oil to a non stick pan
slice the onion and pepper and add to the oil
stirring occasionally cook until the onions are a dark golden color - about 15 mins
Burger
while the onion is cooking season your ground chuck with pepper and onion powder (or whatever you like to use) and mix it - go as heavy or light as you prefer
Cut the mac and cheese into circles - I cut mine 3 1/2 inches
press out the meat into a flat circle, around 4 1/2 inches around and about 1/2 inch thick
place a mac and cheese round on top - cover with another round of meat and seal the edges (you can pull away any excess)
sprinkles salt on both sides of patties
place in a hot skillet with some oil in it and cook for about 5 mins on the first side, flip and cook about 5 mins on the second side (I like to use a lid simply to make sure the mac and cheese is getting heated inside
about the last min add slices of cheese (I used pepper jack) to the burger, add an ice cube to the pan for moisture and put a lid on it.
add to a toasted brioche bun, top with the onions and extra cheese sauce and the top bun! ENJOY!

Mozzarella Sticks Grilled Cheese




Ingredients:
6 frozen mozzarella sticks

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

4 slices hearty white bread or Italian bread

8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced into 12 slices


Directions
Bake the mozzarella sticks according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, start the grilled cheese. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Butter 1 side of each slice of bread and arrange the slices buttered-side down on the griddle. Top each slice of bread with 3 slices of cheese and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt. Cook until the bottom of the bread is toasted and golden brown and the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
Top 2 of the bread slices with 3 baked mozzarella sticks each. Top with the remaining bread slices to form 2 sandwiches. Slice and serve.

Deep Fried Nutella



INGREDIENTS
400 grams nutella

120 grams icing sugar, sieved

1 large egg, beaten

150 grams panko breadcrumbs

Oil for deep frying

Ice cream and berries for serving

INSTRUCTIONS
Start by heating the Nutella on a bain marie and then pour into an ice cube tray. Place in the freezer until set.

Once frozen, remove from the mould and roll in the icing sugar, followed by the beaten egg and finally the Panko bread crumbs. Once stuck, repeat the egg and Panko stages to make a thick even layer of breading.

In a shallow pan heat enough oil to cover the Nutella balls and heat to 180. Once ready pop the balls in the hot oil and fry for a minute, until just golden.

Remove and blot and then serve on berries, or ice cream, or by themselves.
