- Episode 12: Creamy Smoked Mac and Cheese
#wishingwellbbq #letsdoit #SmokedMac&Cheese
Today I'm going to show you how to make this incredibly creamy and delicious Smoked Mac and Cheese! Although Mac and Cheese is typically a side dish, this recipe just may be the star of your dinner! With a little prep work and a relatively short cook, you can really impress your guest with this recipe. Oh, and if you don't have a smoker, no problem! You can cook this in the oven!
•RECIPE•
•Cheese Sauce:
-Grate 1 lb Block of Extra Sharp Cheddar and 1 lb of Gouda Cheese. Mix together.
-In a low heat pot, mix 1 stick of butter and 2 cups of heavy cream and let it get nice and hot.
-Then add a can of Campbells Cheddar Cheese and whisk until it thickens.
-Turn the heat off and slowly mix in shredded cheese. As it thickens you may need to add some additional milk. For my recipe, I had to add an additional 2 cups. (Save some shredded cheese to top our Mac with later)!
-To the sauce add 1tbsp salt, 1tbsp, black pepper, and 1tbsp paprika.
•Noodles and Assembly
-Boil 1lb of dry Elbow macaroni and let it cook until it is almost done. Once they are done, shock them in the sink by draining the water and running cold water through the noodles. This prevents them from continuing to cook.
-Slowly mix the sauce in with the noodles.
-In an oiled cast iron pot, mix in your Mac and Cheese and top with remaining shredded cheese and add a 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan, crumbled bacon from earlier, and some paprika for color.
-Place the Pot on a 300°-325° Smoker of your choice for about 45 minutes to an hour or until the top is nice and bubbly and has a nice crust!

@@WishingWellBBQ GOT YOU
Where did you find that cast iron dutch oven?
For such a young man you sure know what you’re doing
My wife and I have formed a borderline obsession with smoked mac and cheese since the first time I did it. The one thing I thought didn't turn out as well was the creaminess factor. Ours wasn't dry or anything, it just kinda stuck to the noodles. It didn't do that little "slow spread" thing you like to see when you ladle it onto the plate. I've watched several videos on how to improve that, and I think yours was one of the most unique I've seen as far as the tips you offered. I made a roux the first time and had already decided I simply needed to either use heavy cream or just add more milk. But the cheddar cheese soup idea was borderline genious, lol! Great video man. I love to watch a recipe that actually teaches me a new tip. Keep rockin'!
Thank you so much for this comment! Very glad to know this video helps you out! Can’t wait to hear about your results after trying this! Cheers!
@@WishingWellBBQ Did it the same day man, with amazing results. Creamiest mac n cheese I ever made bro. You dropped a gem on ‘em with that tip. Shout-out to the wifey for giving you the game, and to you for passing it on.
@@RonOnTheGrill she is so happy to hear that!!!! It really is a game changer! Thanks again!
It hit 80 degrees here today but I don’t care, I’m making this on my pellet smoker over the weekend! Thank you!
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out!
Looks delicious, I’ve done it myself.
It’s so awesome!!!
@@WishingWellBBQ I will try to find a photo of mine when I did it. If I do, I will make sure and send it to you. You have a great channel, keep up the good work!
@@markt.walden2820 thank so you much, Mark! You are appreciated!
I'm making this for this weekend, instead of bacon i'm gonna put in some leftover brisket. Can't wait
Oh now that will be amazing!!!!
Great video.. Very well done. My hat's off to you
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
@@WishingWellBBQ you're welcome brother...I appreciate your video. I'm going to basically do the same thing, but I'm thinking panko/butter/parmesan mixture as the topper... Trying to get that smoked/baked crust on top
@@chris_favreau I think that would be an AWESOME idea! Let me know how that works out!
Love how "some salt" was an incredible amount of salt. RESPECT.
😆 Yes! It doesn’t have to be exact when putting it in the water! Cheers!
New subscriber, here. Great videos!
Thank you so much! So glad to have you as part of the WWBBQ family!
Mr.Wells from wingo elementry school he is music and art
Now this looks delicious yum
It’s so good!!!
Mmmmm mac and cheese :D
I’m telling you, this is such an amazing recipe!
@@WishingWellBBQ Yeah :D
*Happy red panda noises*
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Brother that was a damn good cook. I just subbed to your channel.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!
What temp is the smoker set at for the bacon? And do you keep it the same for the mac & cheese?
I have the smoker going at around 300°-325° for the bacon and the Mac and Cheese.
Trying this today, adding chunks of lobster, should be good
Holy lobster that will be amazing! Let me know how that goes!
Weeee doggies that looks delicious!
It’s as delicious as it looks! It’s a must try! Thanks for your continued support!
Trying it today instead of campbells cheese soup using canned nacho cheese sauce! Wish me luck
Oh that will be good! Best of luck! Let me know how it goes!!! Cheers!!!
I cant find the Campbell's cheese sauce either. So I'm using nacho cheese too. Lol doing it on Easter
@@titoace408 Awesome! So glad you’re going to try it! Let me know how it goes!
@@WishingWellBBQ so I did end up doing it on Easter and it came out great. I'm never going back to doing the sauce using flour.. I came back today because I'm doing it again and needed to review..
@@titoace408 I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Hot damn that looks gggggreat!
It is so great! Definitely a must try!
FYI. Pre shredded cheese is dusted with wood dust. Always use freshly grated cheeses.
It melts and mixes so much better too!
🤤🤤🤤
Drool factor: On ☑️ Off
What size cast iron are you using here?
This one is a 5 quart cast iron pot!
Where can I find the actual recipe ?
How about just using half amd half?
Sure! You could do that as well!
@@WishingWellBBQ I'm smoking some Mac and cheese today. Happy Thanksgiving.
@@Coopjj awesome! Let me know how it turns out! Happy Thanksgiving!
the can of cheese is sodium bomb no bueno. I'll omit that from the mix
You lost me a canned cheddar cheese. 🤮 don’t emphasis the importance of grating block cheese and the descend to using a can of cheese. A rue is the way to go. Add the flour to the butter then thicken with milk.
I totally get what you are saying. I did make a roux. The cheddar is just an extra level. Don’t knock it until you try it 😉
@@WishingWellBBQ im not going to know your recipe because it does look really yummy. However, I did not see a roux being made in this video. You say you did make a roux in this comment but in the video you never actually made a roux
@@brittmeeks4599 after reviewing my video, you are correct, I did not make an official roux. My apologies! I asked my wife why she likes using the cheddar cheese as opposed to making a roux and she said:
-The cheddar cheese will help make the Mac and cheese more creamy, just like a roux, but will add an extra layer of cheesiness.
-When we make Make and cheese in bulk (we do a lot of bbq catering) it’s much easier to use this way.
Hopefully this explains a little more of the reasoning. Cheers!
You lost me at using flour for no good reason
