Directions

1. Cook the macaroni, drain and set aside.

2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.

3. Stir in the cheddar cheese until fully melted. Sprinkle over the Mac Daddy Rub and stir to combine.

4. Add the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, stirring to coat the pasta. Then add the cup of crushed Cheetos and set aside to cool slightly.

5. Using a Ziplock bag and rolling pin, bash the remaining cup of Cheetos to a fine crumb.

6. Assemble the sandwich: layer 2 slices of cheese on 2 slices of bread, spoon over the mac & cheese, add a drizzle of mayo or hot sauce if you like then top with the final slice of bread.

7. Heat a frying pan with some oil. Place the assembled sandwiches in the pan and sprinkle the crumbed Cheetos over the top. Flip and repeat on the other side. Serve when the cheese is oozing out the sides and the bread is sizzling.
