Bludawg, roughly what size casserole dish would you suggest for this recipe?
 
I use a 9X11X2 unless I double it then a 13X9 quadrupled a turkey roaster. I also use Cavatopi or Ziti instead of Elbow's
 
Blu does it still come out creamy or is it more firm? I prefer not to cut my mac and cheese by the slice.
 
Maybe i should do a structured recipe sometime but the majority of the time i just wing it. Partially cooked noodles, velveta, what other cheeses sound good at the time...parmasean and some cream cheese is always good. I add a little water, smoke for short time then cover with foil and finish cooking. Oh and add croutons on top.
