ONE-POT PULLED PORK MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine the milk and macaroni in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping, then cook, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, mustard, cayenne and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Stir in half the pulled pork. (The dish will thicken as it cools; thin it out with a little hot water if desired.) Spoon the remaining half of the pork over the mac and cheese and sprinkle with additional Cheddar and scallion.
• Serve hot with barbecue sauce or hot sauce if using.

• Combine the barbecue sauce and pulled pork in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Generously spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread slice. Flip over half of the bread slices; layer 1 slice of cheddar, 1 macaroni-and-cheese square and another slice of cheddar on each. Top each with one-quarter of the pulled pork and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
