Using pre-shredded cheeses saves on prep time. Sharp cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese are other good additions. You can use any cheese you like but I do recommend using a blend. The amount of salt and black pepper we list is just a suggestion.Ĭheese - We used a Mexican blend from Costco that comes in a big bag and is a combination of Monterey Jack, Medium Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla, and Asadero cheeses. Salt & Pepper - Always season to please your taste buds. Garlic Powder - We like using a bit of garlic powder in just about everything. Yellow Mustard - You can't taste the mustard in the sauce but it enhances the natural flavors of the cheese and butter Whole Milk - I like to use a combination of the two milks for the best texture in the sauce. If you are using unsalted butter you may need to increase the amount of added salt to taste.įlour - Just a small amount of flour is needed to thicken the sauce.Įvaporated Milk - Evaporated milk makes the cheddar cheese sauce creamier than if you just use all whole milk. Whichever type of pasta you choose you will want to boil it for about 25%-33% of the cooking time on the package directions.īutter - We only buy salted butter in our house so that is what we use in all of our recipes. Shells and rotini are other great choices. Let's talk about the ingredients that go into this easy smoked mac and cheese.Ĭooked Elbow Macaroni - you can really use any shape of pasta but elbows are classic.
I loved creating this smoked mac and cheese because it can cook in the smoker while you're smoking the main course as well and if you need to play around with time and temperature to get it all completed at the same time, that is not a problem. When I can make a meal and there is something on the table that everyone enjoys, it is a win!
Secondly, my picky eater child is happy with mac and cheese. The first, it can be a side dish or the main course. Mac and Cheese is one of my favorite dishes. I guarantee this Smoked Mac and Cheese will be the best macaroni & cheese of your life. Creamy, cheesy, and smoky Traeger Mac and Cheese is the ultimate main course or side dish to any meal.
