CHEESEBURGER MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Add pasta to boiling water and cook just shy of al dente, according to package directions.
• Drain the cooked pasta and reserve.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin with the grill seasoning, ketchup and yellow mustard.
• Grab about a tablespoon of meat in your hand and roll it into a small ball. Place the mini meatballs onto a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler.
• While the mini meatballs are in the oven, heat a large saucepot over medium-high heat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the butter.
• Cook the red onion with some salt and pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over top and cook for about 1 minute.
• Whisk in the milk, season with salt and pepper, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat and whisk in 1 cup of each cheese.
• Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce along with the baked meatballs and toss to combine.
• Pour everything out into a casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and Swiss cheeses.
• If serving immediately, toss the mac under the broiler until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
• Top with the chopped tomatoes and pickles, if desired, and serve.
