Mac-n-Cheese Stuffed Meatball Sandwiches

I love when I see something on sale, especially when it’s buy one get one free, or to put it another way, 2 for 1. And why shouldn’t that apply to food too? It worked so well with my meatloaf a couple of weeks ago that I decided to give it a go again by mashing together two classics with these Mac-n-Cheese Stuffed Meatball Sandwiches. And they turned out awesome!

It’s never easy satisfying everyone here. A couple of us are in the mood for something meaty, the others in the mood for something cheesy, and me, in the mood for a sandwich. So I figured why not try to satisfy kids and adults alike by combining these two favorites? And at the same time, something I don’t need to devote an entire afternoon too. This one covered everything – quick, easy, meaty, cheesy, and between two slices of bread. Done.

And with the baby here and time being a commodity, I am all about quick & easy meals lately, and this one certainly was. Everything mixed together in one bowl, easily prepared, cooked, then smothered in a tasty marinara sauce. Now the only issue is that I have become obsessed with stuffing and combining food. I don’t know why but I have so much fun with that. Yeah, I’m sure it’s all been done before, but doing it my way keeps cooking entertaining for me, and at the same time, fills the growling bellies at the table.
