Wednesday Smoked Mac & Cheese

It is time for my oldest son to go back to college, and my wife asked him if he had any requests for meals before he left us.

As always, one of the meals he requested was Smoked Mac and Cheese.

Can't really blame him. My Smoked Mac and Cheese is delicious.

Usually I cook during the weekends and my wife cooks during the week. 

I work at home, so there isn't really a reason I shouldn't cook during the week. My wife just doesn't usually want to let me. 

But for various reasons I wasn't able to get it in the weekend between when it was requested and the weekend he has to return.

So ... I made this batch of Mac and Cheese this past Wednesday. 

As always, I mostly followed the recipe on the original Smoked Mac and Cheese.

I used ground Italian sausage instead of bacon. 

Compared to the recipe, I used more butter. More flour. More milk. More cheese.

Other than that, I think I followed the recipe exactly.

I cooked it on my 22 inch Weber Kettle with hickory wood to smoke.

I let it cook until it was bubbly and had a nice color on top. A little over an hour.

It was awesome. Again, my Smoked Mac and Cheese is delicious. Not really much more needs to be said.
