I've gathered up some easy at home lunch ideas for kids, some with as few as three ingredients, to help you get through this spring and summer. This grilled macaroni and cheese sandwich will become their new favorite!

Have picky eaters at your house? I have one and she kills me. There are some keys to pleasing picky eaters, and the first is to make things fun with subtle flavors. This recipe is one I keep in my back pocket for days when she’s extra picky. Grilled Macaroni and Cheese sandwiches are a hit with my super picky kid.

Prep Time 25 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Servings 1 serving

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices brioche or other bread
  • 2 slices Kraft singles or American cheese
  • ¼ c. leftover macaroni and cheese
  • 2 pinches garlic salt
  • 2 pats salted butter

Instructions
 

  • Begin by heating a frying pan over medium-low heat. Then butter one side of each slice of bread, followed by sprinkling a pinch of garlic salt over the butter. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, on the frying pan. Then layer a slice of cheese, macaroni and cheese, and another slice of cheese. Top with the remaining slice of bread, this time butter-side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes with the lid on your frying pan so the heat helps to melt the cheese. Then carefully flip the sandwich over and cook another 2-3 minutes. You want the cheese inside to be warm and melted and the bread to be golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
