  • 1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
  • 1 recipe creamy baked macaroni and cheese

  • Butter one side of each slice of bread with butter.
  • Place a piece of cheddar on a slice of bread, top with pulled pork, another slice of cheese, a scoop of macaroni and cheese, and a third slice of cheddar. Top with remaining piece of bread, butter side facing out. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
