I wouldn't make the goal to be a breakfast pancake with mac and cheese added but rather another food item using a pancake technique. I make some might tasty zucchini pancakes and they get gobbled down without a thought about breakfast pancakes, ditto potato pancakes. If the mac and cheese pancakes gets a tasty brown crust on it like the edge around a pan of the stuff, they might be OK.
I don't do any pond crossing, but stodgy to me means dull and uninteresting, maybe even heavy. I'm assuming a pile of stodge might be a pile of dull, uninteresting, heavy food.
