Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Cook Macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in Cheddar Cheese, Salt, and Pepper until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Add cooked Macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
Slice Avocado and brush with Olive Oil and Garlic Powder.
Butter one side of each slice of Bread.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill Avocado slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear.
Assemble sandwiches: Spread Mac and Cheese on two slices of Bread. Top with grilled Avocado slices and the remaining Bread slices, butter-side up.
Grill sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
