My best friend's daughter and I came up with what will be the best new food craze of 2010

[LynneSin]

Philly Mac & Cheese Steak Sandwich.

Instead of cheese on your steak sandwich we would put Mac & Cheese on the sandwich.

We figured it can't get any unhealthier than a Double Down from KFC.

Our inspiration came while she was eating a Philly cheese steak sandwich at Ikea while our table split a side of Mac & Cheese.

[EOTE]

1. Include a healthy amount of grilled onions and you're onto something.

Bacon in the mac & cheese might even take it to the next level :)

On edit: I think you might be under-estimating the calorie count, Double Downs probably aren't as bad as you're thinking. I think 500 some calories, I believe the typical Philly Cheesesteak has more than that.

[Demoiselle]

3. If you use raw onions instead, you'll get some vitamin C.

Although I perceive that a healthy balance of food groups is not your purpose here.

[KamaAina]

5. That would be a "Philly Mac wit'".

With or without (grilled onions) is one of the inherent cheesesteak dichotomies.

2. Sorry...

:puke:

[Demoiselle]

4. Wait a minute! A Philly Cheese steak at IKEA?!!!

You could get the same effect with their Swedish Meatballs, cream gravy, mashed potatoes and Lingonberry sauce. Calories and cholesterol effect, anyway.

[KamaAina]

6. But can you make mac and cheese with Cheez Whiz?

:shrug:

[Crystal Clarity]

7. Yum. That sounds good!

Love both Philly Cheese Steaks and Mac and Cheese! The combo would probably be very fattening but that just makes it sound more appealing to me. :9

8. Sounds great... nt

10. I thought the inspiration was going to be last night's The Next Food Network Star

One of the challenges was to create something special with steak and mac & cheese.

Nobody came up with your idea. They might've won if they did.

11. My Ikea food find for 2010, and it'll give yours a run for the money

Order chicken tenders at Ikea, and have them put the swedish meatball gravy on it. Instant Swedish chicken-fried chicken (even if it's not really "chicken fried"). My brother and I discovered it by accident, he had the chicken tenders, I had the Swedish meatballs, somehow a piece of his chicken wound up on my plate in the gravy. The rest is history.

12. get both:

chicken and balls, smothered :rofl:

13. Why don't you call a spayed a spayed?

I guess in this case it would be a neutered a neutered...
.
.
.
...as in my house a dish involving both chicken tenders AND Swedish meatballs...
.
.

would not be "chicken and balls" (you scaredycat)... but "cock and balls".
