Basically the ground mustard makes the cheese "cheesier". I often get asked why add ground mustard to the cheese sauce. Velveeta is always an option yet some people really can't stand the taste of it. I used some of my favorite (and what I had on hand) but you can essentially use whatever kind of cheese you want as long as it melts well. Once the butter has melted, add the softened cream cheese and whisk until the cream cheese has broken down and the sauce is smooth. Return your stock pot to the stove top, add the heavy cream and butter, then warm them over medium heat. You may need to experiment a bit with this to get the desired doneness.įor the pasta noodles, you can use whatever kind you want like a classic elbow macaroni but rotini is also a good option as the cheese likes to get into all the nooks & crannies of the noodles. Drain and rinse pasta in cool water, and set aside. Stir it all together and place in oven at 350 or on smoker uncovered for about an hour or until bubbly and cheese starts browning. Add the noodles and pour the milk and cheese sauce over it. Place in the smoker over indirect heat if using a grill. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Transfer to the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Remove the pan from the heat, add the macaroni, and stir to combine. Melt the stick of butter in an aluminum pan. Add 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted. If you prefer a much softer noodle then you could always pre-boil them for about 5 minutes. Once warm stir in the cheese to melt and make like a cheese sauce. I like my noodles to still have a bit of chew to them so this is how the recipe is written. Turn the smoker temperature up to 220 degrees. Given the amount of liquid used in this easy-to-make recipe, there is no need to pre-cook the noodles. After that hour is up, remove the smoked macaroni and cheese. The big debate is whether you need to pre-cook the noodles or not. Basically you put everything in a disposable aluminum pan and let it smoke for a couple of hours. Increase heat and slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until fully combined. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour until smooth. Unlike some of my other mac & cheese recipes, this one doesn't require making a roux, cook the noodles and melting the cheese ahead of time. While smoker warms up, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Macaroni and cubed Butter in disposable pan My family loves my Mac and Cheese recipes so I just had to give this one a shot.
