And it's a bit pricey for the quality and especially for the portions. I'll hit the local falafel place or Crif Dogs for a Spicy Redneck before BAMN.

If somebody is engaging in "Carb Loading" prior to running a marathon, then perhaps this combination would be a good idea. For anyone who is not about to run a marathon, this would be an excellent way to throw one's blood sugar way out of balance.

The glycemic load of that sandwich would not be good for anyone other than an athlete about to compete in a strenuous contest, and the average person should not eat something like this. If anyone wants a classic example of how and why we have an epidemic of obesity in this country, as well as a huge spike in Type II Diabetes, this sandwich could be Exhibit A.

They sell deep fried Mac and Cheese in the freezer section of stores. I saw it in a restaurant years ago and then found out they were just buying the frozen version. It's pretty good

It was a classic "James Beard" style Mac and cheese, I assume cooled so it could be cut into big squares, egg and breadcrumb dipped, and deepfried to a golden brown.

Right in the midst of this post I Googled this topic and found a Paula Deen recipe that seems mighty close.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/deep-fried-mac-and-cheese-recipe/index.html

Also, I'd totally eat the deep fried mac/cheese/hotdog contraption. No ketchup please.

But have you had deep fried Mac and Cheese on a Stick?...LOL...Russ

I think if you molded the mac & cheese around a hot dog, then dip into the corndog batter, you would have something there.

Please describe how it's made in greater detail and a recipe would be even better. I was at the store today and based on this thread, I bought a box of upscale mac & cheese and some Panko crumbs to experiment with so if you can supply some info that will help!

Going back to the original post, I see nothing wrong with a mac & cheese sandwich. Carb on carb I have heard...somehow I thought most people were over that fad, but I reckon not.

I think Jennifer is right on the carb thing , but I wish she would lose the sammy thing, but I know that is not about to happen. So call it what you want Jennifer, I can live with it, I reckon.

It is not really a carb on carb thing anyway...people seem to be ignoring the cheese. Very high quality protein and enough fat so one digests these carbs slowly anyway. For me, the carb on carb thing is pointless anyway...it is yesterday's fad diet.

Carb-o-phobia cracks me up.. carbs equals fuel, can't live without carbs.. unless you have legitimate blood sugar issues, a mac n cheese sammy once in a blue moon won't kill ya.

In my book, bread crumbs are mandatory on mac & cheese, along with some melted butter on top. It adds the proper crunchy counterpoint to the dish. I thought everyone knew this.

What about a deep dish Mac & Cheese, let it cool, chill in fridge. Slice it into 1" slabs, egg dip and panko bread crumbs, very quick high fry & drain. This would give you a firm slab sandwich worthy with crunch and chew.

Now, what you dress the sandwich up with... thats another story. I'm really wondering what that could be.

My guess would be Yellow Mustard or Marinara Sauce like fried cheese.

Form the Mac and Cheese in the shape of a Hot Dog shove a stick in it then dip it in some corn dog batter and fry it up. Mac Dog on a stick. Coming to a carnaval soon. Better than pizza in a cup...Russ

I love to eat mac and cheese with a fork in one hand and a piece of really good, fresh white bread, heavily buttered with real butter in the other. I bet it would be equally good as a sandwich with ice cold applesauce on the side to cut the fat.

The more I think about this, the more I agree...any macaroni in a sandwich sounds strange...starch inside starch...what next, baked ziti sandwich, ravioli on a kaiser role...monicotti sub????????

Lee actually a baked ziti sandwich is good too. I think almost any pasta can be thrown on a roll or bread of some sort and eaten. Haven't you dipped your bread in pasta and had some of it stick to the bread only to eat it anyway? Same concept.

That is what I was thinking....Carbs wrapped in carbs. Mac and Cheese is so good just as it is.

this does sound really good. I eat macaroni and cheese sandwiches every now and then. usually cold mac and cheese on bread with some ketchup. But the chicken and bbq sauce is a good mix with it
