I would recommend giving the smoked mac and cheese recipe from ManCaveMeals a try. Here is the link to it.

I recently made a variation of it and it turned out great. Instead of Chorizo I used some pork tenderloin that I had left over and substituted some of my rib rub in place of the chipotle powder or my wife would have cried foul for it being too spicy, Also added a Panko bread crumb topping toward the end. I made it on my Performer with cherry wood smoke. Here are some pics of the way it turned out.

Buffalo-Chicken Macaroni and Cheese

I've also used pulled pork instead of chicken.

Here is a one-pot recipe which uses uncooked macaroni that I got from Sister DivaHerself in the "I make the best......" thread. I haven't tried it yet, but it will be my next batch for sure.

Now every time I see or hear this I can't help but to think of the Friends episode with Joey auditioning for the show "Mac & C.H.E.E.S.E."

I think the secret to good mac and cheese is making the roux before you add the cheese. Always helps mine from separating into a grease slick. Never done baked mac and cheese though.

SteelCityBBQ · 02-22-2013, 09:36 PM

Thanks for all the great recipes I am surely going to try a few of them!

My Smoked Macaroni & Cheese With Chorizo listed above is really great, but this is good also and it's 'creamy'....
