A few tator tots

onion, zucchini

basic condiments and spices

Hi there,

If those were the ingredients I had to work with tonight, I'd do something like this.

Start with ur mac n cheese:

Re-moisten it with a bit of milk butter or a bit of mayo, chicken broth or even water if you have nothing else would be fine. It needs to be just a tiny bit wet. Add some of the cheddar to this. Jazz it up with a touch of hot sauce, pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper and add a pinch of nutmeg. Mix gently and place in a small casserole dish. Top this with a single layer of broken up tatter tots and bake at 350 for about 15-20 mins or until the tt's are golden. Finish it off with a sprinkle of more cheddar salt and pepper to taste and place back in the over for about 3-5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Tent loosely and set aside.

While ur mac n cheese is in the oven:

Saute one half diced onion until lightly golden (caramelized), add one diced zucchini. Stir and cook for only a few minutes...until the zucchini is just translucent. If able, add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. If you have tomato sauce, add a few tablespoons, if not, 2 teaspoons of ketchup will do. Stir gently cover and set aside.

Using plain white bread, take a normal sized drinking glass or biscuit cutter, and cutout rounds...about 8 will serve four people or two hungry ones.

Place these on a baking sheet and lightly toast them in the oven while the mac n cheese is in there, or if done with that, use the same temp. Watch closely as you don't want them to burn, but to toast lightly. While hot, lightly brush olive oil or butter over them and place back in the oven to finish...about 3 mins.

Once done, place a small handful of cheese on top, followed by one or two slices of the pepperoni (depending on the size of the cut), add another little bit of cheese, and place a teaspoon of the zucchini mixture on top, followed by another bit of cheese. Bake for 3-5 mins, or until the cheese has melted.

Tip: Be sure the bread is nice and crusted, and the zucchini mixture isn't too wet. If it seems wet, simply squeeze against the side of the pan before adding to the top of the crusted bread.
