It seems that all Food Network recipes make the editors here drool, but sometimes there's a recipe that really catches our eye and makes us stop dead in our tracks. This past Sunday Jeff Mauro did just that when he made the ultimate comfort food sandwich on Sandwich King: Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese With Bacon. A creation he credits to his son, Lorenzo, Jeff takes country white bread and layers it with an enormous serving of a classic, gooey, homemade mac and cheese, thick-cut smoked bacon, American cheese and tomatoes that have been soaked in hot sauce. If that doesn't warm and fill you up on a cold day, well, we'd be impressed then.
