Smoked Macaroni and Cheese
Smoked mac and cheese is an over the top macaroni and cheese recipe using a cheesy garlic white sauce combined with four kinds of cheese and then smoked on the Big Green Egg for an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 pound macaroni
- 10 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅓ cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup smoked gouda
- 1 cup Havarti cheese
- 2 cups Colby-Jack Cheese
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon season salt
Instructions
- Begin by getting the smoker or oven to 250°.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil and begin boiling macaroni. Cook the macaroni for a minute or two less than instructed so the pasta will continue to cook on the smoker.
- While the pasta cooks, make the cheese sauce by melting the 6 tablespoons of butter and then sauteing the minced garlic in a Dutch oven. Add the flour to the melted butter and mix continuing to cook for one minute while it is bubbling. Slowly add the milk a half a cup at a time. Bring to a rolling boil and then turn down the heat. Stir in the season salt and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
- Put the cream cheese cut into cubes into the sauce, stir to melt. Then add the shredded gouda, Havarti, and Colby-Jack cheeses one cup at a time. Continue to stir to melt.
- Pour the cooked macaroni in the cheese sauce.
- Melt four tablespoons of butter and then mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and paprika into the melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
- Put the macaroni and cheese on the smoker in indirect heat for one to two hours or until the macaroni and cheese are bubbling.
