35 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 (14-oz) box mac & cheese dinner
  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 slices hearty white bread
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded coleslaw
  • 16 dill pickle chips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan). Cook mac & cheese following package instructions, then set aside.
    2. Grill hot dogs following package instructions; transfer to cutting board. Cut hot dogs in half crosswise and lengthwise.
    3. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread; spread barbecue sauce on other side. Top 4 slices, barbecue-side up, with 1 tablespoon slaw, 4 pickles, 4 pieces of hot dog, 3 tablespoons mac & cheese, 4 tablespoons shredded cheese, and 1 more slice of bread, butter-side out (to make a sandwich).
    4. Place 2 sandwiches at a time in pan; cook 4–5 minutes on each side or until bread is golden and cheese has melted. Serve with remaining mac & cheese.
