Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups hand-grated sharp Cheddar (see Cook's Note)
1 1/3 cups pre-grated mild Cheddar
Pancake Batter, recipe follows
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
4 hot dogs, sliced into 1/4-inch circles, optional
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pancakes
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Habanero Maple Syrup, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 habanero pepper
4 cups Vermont maple syrup

Steps:

  • Blend together the hand-grated and pre-grated Cheddars in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat griddle to medium heat. Ladle 4 pancakes on the griddle at a time; do not overcrowd. Add 1/4 cup macaroni to each pancake, followed by 1/2 hot dog per pancake, if using, followed by 1/3 cup Cheddar per pancake. When you notice the edges bubbling vigorously, spray the entire pancake and griddle with nonstick spray, then flip the pancakes. Press down on the pancakes with a great deal of force (think panini style).
  • Cook until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the griddle, sprinkle with scallions and serve with warm Habanero Syrup. Repeat to make 4 more.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, salt, eggs and buttermilk in a bowl until just combined; your batter should look lightly lumpy but combined. Set aside for at least 2 hours.
  • Slice habanero in half and place in a saucepan with maple syrup. Bring up to a full boil and turn off right away to avoid boil-over. Let stand for 3 hours. Strain out pepper.

MACARONI, CHEESE AND HOT DOGS



Macaroni, Cheese and Hot Dogs image

I always loved it when my mom would make macaroni, cheese and hot dogs when I was young. As I grew up, I found that I liked it to be cheesier than she made it. I have been making this recipe for years and most everyone who has tried it really likes it. It is easy to make and my kids really enjoy having it for lunch.

Categories     Cheese

Time 18m

Yield 3 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (7 1/2 ounce) box kraft macaroni & cheese dinner mix
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons margarine
4 hot dogs
4 slices American cheese

Steps:

  • Fill a medium sized pot with hot water about half way.
  • Put the water on the stove at high heat.
  • Add box of Kraft macaroni and cheese dinner.
  • Cut up the hod dogs into 1/4 pieces and drop in the water.
  • Bring everything to a boil.
  • Once the water boils, reduce the heat and continue to cook until the macaroni is tender.
  • Drain water.
  • Place pot back on the stove on very low heat.
  • Add margarine and milk.
  • Add slices of cheese.
  • Stir until cheese melts.
  • After cheese melts, add cheese sauce packet that comes with the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner.
  • Stir until everything is well mixed.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: For the ultimate cheesy experience, use a combination of cheeses that melt well together. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack are all great options.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: You don't want the macaroni to be too soft or it will become mushy. Cook it al dente, so that it still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the hot dogs, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of brown. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a hot grill or griddle: If you're grilling the hot dogs, make sure the grill is hot before you start cooking. This will help to prevent the hot dogs from sticking.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the hot dogs are still hot and the cheese is melted and gooey.
