Need a Smoked Mac&Cheese Recipe (Quick)

[wheelterrapin]

Gang I am planning a big cook tomorrow that includes smoked Eye of Round, Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw and Mac & Cheese.

Somewhere on this forum I saw a great recipe for Smoked Mac & Cheese but I cannot find it anywhere, I looked in the recipe section but it was not there.

I got to make a run to the store in a few minutes and need to make sure I have all of my ingredients so if anyone can send me a recipe of Mac & Cheese, smoked or not, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Paul

I assume you know how to make mac-n-cheese, so here is a pic and recipe, Blog link is also provided.

Jalapeno Cheese Sauce:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 tablespoon chile powder, Plowboy's Bovine Bold (more on this later)
2-1/2 cups Half & Half or whole milk.
1/2 cup sherry
2 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 cup each gruyere and smoked gouda
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped jalapeno

The one change I am planning on testing is to use some Mexican soft cheese, that stuff that is sort of like ricotta, to make the sauce creamier for baking. I also would probably go with three jalapenos for myself. I make this into smoked mac-n-cheese by cooking it in the cast iron pan in the kettle.

Paul, here is the one we use on the Weber in cast iron. About an hour or so. Just substitute 8 oz of pasta for the taters. We usually use elbow macaroni but about any will be great. Good luck and share with us what you did bro.

oops!

I'm not seeing your recipe Meat Burner...did you forget the link or am I crazy?

 

[Meat Burner]

No chief, it was my bad. Should be there now.

 

[wheelterrapin]

What is Beaumont? I assume it is some type of rub or spice?

 

[wheelterrapin]

Woops, almost forgot to thank you for the recipe, I cannot wait to try it. I appreciate you sharing it with us.

[Meat Burner]

Wheel, it is an all purpose spice. I'll try to get you a pic. It is excellent for just about anything. One of those spices that is blended so well it is like adding a little salt or pepper to anything. Good stuff. Give me a minute and I will edit this with a pic....hopefully.

This spice. Excellent!

 

[wheelterrapin]

Thanks Meat Burner, I have never seen it but I will go a huntin for it now that I know what it is. Sam's Wholesale carries this brand of spices but I have never seen this one and I have at least one of everything they carry. I will start searching for it

 

[landarc]

Hey Meat, that was one of my mom's favorite spices, I just realized I never use it, I should try it again. Maybe that is the missing element.

 

[Meat Burner]

We use Beaumont in just about everything from rubs to veggies, slaw, mac & cheese. Good stuff.

It may be why my late mom's macaroni salad recipe does not taste like hers even though I think I have the right recipe, perhaps I did not pay enough attention.

landarc, thanks for the great mac n cheese recipe! With a few mods to the cheeses (cheddar, colby and fontina) and minus the jalapeno, it still came out great and was the first cook in the Lodge cast iron dutch oven. My only difficulty was letting the temps on the Bubba Keg get out of control while I was in the kitchen. They're tough to bring back down after they soar to 700. That's a piece of granite beneath the Lodge to try to get the temps down.

Mac n cheese plus a ham yielded some good eats for Father's Day! (And my wife questioned why I needed two grills. No longer!)
