Step 1
Boil elbow macaroni in salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Return pasta to the hot pot off heat. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Step 3
Butter two bread slices on both sides. Spoon mac and cheese onto one slice, top with the other slice, cheese side down.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Place sandwich in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Step 5
Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden, another 2–3 minutes. Cheese should ooze slightly at the edges.
Step 6
Repeat steps 3–5 with the remaining 2 bread slices and mac and cheese. Serve hot.
