Smoked Mac-n-Cheese

My son is home from college for Spring Break.

His favorite thing I smoke is Smoked Mac and Cheese, and so I made a batch this past Saturday.

He also wanted to go hiking on Saturday. Since my kids don't get up until fairly late in the day, I prepared the Mac and Cheese in the morning so I could just throw it on the smoker in the afternoon.

If you would like to see the recipe ... go to my blog post Smoked Mac and Cheese. 

It is basically the recipe I (sort of) followed.

I started by cooking the bacon on my grill.

As the bacon was cooking, I started the sauce inside on our stove.

When the sauce was almost done, I cooked the noodles.

Then, I combined the noodles, let them cool a bit and put this combination in the fridge.

We went up to the mountains for a hike.

When we got home, I shredded cheese to mix in with the sauce and noodle and placed this into a pan.

I shredded up some more cheese for the top. I put that back in the fridge until it was time to start cooking.

I used my smoker with charcoal and hickory chunks for about an hour and a half. The thermometer read around 350 most of the time. 

At about dinner time, the mac and cheese was gooey and bubbling.

We ate and enjoyed.

I might have enjoyed it a bit too much. I had too many servings.

Oh well.

It was really really good. Everyone really liked it.
