Rather than using burger buns, this DudeFoods mac and cheese burger simply swaps out bread for noodles. Dubbed 'The Big Mac 'n Cheese,' this recipe plays off of the name of McDonald's Big Mac and towers much taller than the original burger.
To make this gigantic stacked burger, Nick Chipman of DudeFoods notes that: "I headed to McDonald’s, grabbed a Big Mac, fed the original buns to my dogs Finn and Holden and then re-assembled it with my macaroni and cheese buns." Due to the size of the burger, plus the consistency of the noodle patties, the burger would likely be a little more difficult to eat than usual. However, ever the innovator when it comes to crazy food recipes, Chipman suggests that if you find yourself struggling to eat this mac and cheese burger, you could always deep fry the whole thing and eat it on a stick.
