I made this last week for the family, and everyone loved it! Smoking some ribs this weekend and your mac & cheese was requested again.
Love to hear it, Mike! Glad y'all enjoyed
I just made this today. I just got my first ever smoker as a fathers day gift. Everyone loved this. Wife said it was the bed mac n cheese shes ever had
Love to hear it! Congrats on the new smoker.
I just made this bro!!! Fire!! You helped me earn respect at BBQ's now😂😂
Awesome! Glad everyone enjoyed.
Made this for my family and parents, and everyone loved it! For the hot sauce, I used TRUFF hot sauce. Amazing recipe!
Love to hear it, David! Glad you guys enjoyed
Heck yeah...i have been slacking because of overload work and life, but Definitely hammering down after...
Looks amazing heath! On the to do list to try!
Let us know how it goes!
Delicious! I’ve made this multiple times for my friends and family. It’s the most delicious and easy way to make mac on the smoker!
Glad you enjoy!
I made this tonight for a family dinner and it was a huge hit. It was super simple to make and I'll for sure be making it again!!
Love to hear that! Glad y'all enjoyed.
It seems like the Mac would have a lot of starchy flavor and texture to it with this method. Does it?
Great tip on avoiding bagged grated cheeses! I learned something here! Awesome cook Heath!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks good man and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
This looks amazing.
Thanks!
The world champ with another cracking feed.
Trying!
Yeah. I'm doing this.
Hope you enjoy!
This looks delicious 😋 Great video!!
Thank you!
Added some brisket burnt ends to this, came out fantastic, sweet baby rays was key ingredient.
That sounds delicious!
That looks soooo good. I do like me some good mac n cheese. I personally think the dash of hot sauce, clinches it.
I totally agree! This pan of mac and cheese was very delicious and simple.
can't go wrong with smoked mac!!! Good stuff brotha
Yes sir! Thank, brother
Making this now! Thanks alot!
Hope you enjoy!
I made this tonight and it was amazing! I added pulled pork at the third stir at 1:30 and it worked perfectly. We chose this recipe because others required pre-cooking the macaroni.
I can't wait to meet you at Memphis in May next year.
On edit: I just told my wife what would be amazing is using rib meat from your competition rib video. I'm doing that next.
Sounds great! I am so glad you both enjoyed!
I’ve made this Mac several times since finding the recipe. It’s so good and everyone loves it so I haven’t bothered trying another recipe
Made this and it was fantastic. Anyone who uses Malcolm's products is a friend of mine. Ordering some of your rubs as well
Thanks! Malcom and I are good buddies and from the same area. We both carry each other's products.
I’ll be doing this recipe for Bills/Rams on Thursday!
Awesome! So glad football is back
Made this tonight and holy shit. I can't believe how straight forward it is and how delicious it was.
Great video. Short and to the point.
Appreciate it, Daniel! Glad you enjoyed
Going to try it out thanks post picture later
Hope you enjoy
I like putting ritz crackers on the top. Also I like using guda cheese as well.
Smoked Gouda would be awesome!
That liquid gold looks amazing brotha 🔥🔥🔥
It is!
Made this today it was really delishes
So glad!
I have four more trays of this mac and cheese recipe going on the smoker now. One tray for us, three for the lake neighbors.
Awesome! Hope y'all enjoy.
How was it
Now that is some Mac 'N Cheese! I used evaporated milk a lot in cooking instead of heavy cream, and always keep a couple of cans on hand. I also like Maggi Hot Seasoning flavor enhancer that gives a smokey, but not too hot flavor.
Sounds good!
Just made this, and on the smoker right now with a brisket.
That'll be good!
Made this tonight the only difference I did I used pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack cheese cause I couldn’t find it at the store and hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve had. Thank you.
Love to hear it, Jason! Glad you enjoyed.
Making this right now. Not exactly but this video was the inspiration. Got the brisket cooked yesterday in the warmer resting and soon it’ll be carving time. 🤙🏻
Awesome! Sounds like some good eatin'.
Hey Heath, making this for Christmas. I am going to double the recipe and was curious if you think I should add some extra cook time? Thanks for the great recipe
I would if you're going to double it and make way more
It was delicious it makes a lot it will be perfect for the 4 of July
I couldn't agree more.
This Mac and cheese changed my perspective on life
Definitely been a channel favorite!
Also, since I recently got your rib bundle, I tried some of the leftover Butter Bath in my Mac N Cheese. Oh, My! Just another use for the great Butter Bath.
Oh I've never tried that. That's awesome!
@@HeathRilesBBQ It has that hint of nutmeg/allspice and of course, the butter and brown sugar. The mac 'n cheese approves of the enhancement.
Yummy 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋
Thank you 😊
Mac-n-cheese lookin' mighty fine Heath! Next time mix in some sausage for that extra bite!
Good call!
Yummy
Thank you.
Wife and I both found out we really just don't like cream cheese :( I think the neighbors might be getting a free helping of this, and we'll have to try again using velveeta instead of cream cheese.
I understand. Please substitute with whatever you like!
@@HeathRilesBBQ Neighbors loved the cream cheese variant, and we loved our modified recipe. Will definitely be making this again!
@@nysos3 Awesome! Glad y'all enjoyed and made those necessary tweaks.
Super easy! I've avoided the mac and cheese recipes that required me to make a "roux."
Hope you enjoy!
The best
Thanks!
Awesome! Do you have any issues those royal oak pellets jamming the auger? I've used some non traeger pellets as well, but they jam from time to time.
None!
Fresh block cheese that is hand grated is a thousand times better than that cellulose covered pre-shredded cheese in the bag.
Couldn’t agree more!
Nahh the cellulite cheese is the best if the cheese don’t give you cellulite it’s not good cheese
Looks great!
Thanks!
What's the difference from using top grate or bottom grate

I made this last night but substituted in some different cheeses and added tiny bits of jalapeños. I still used the recipe but used about a cup and a half each of habanero jack, mild cheddar, and gouda. Basically, everything else was the same. Cooked it on a green mountain pellet grill. It was pretty darn good, but
It's a little dry and not that creamy. Should I have added a little more milk, say 4 cups instead of 3? Anyways thanks for this video recipe.
Yes, I would have added a little more ilk to make it creamier.
Iam making this. Today
Hope you enjoy
I just made this and it is fantastic. I made another pan for a dinner tonight. I was going to reheat it in the oven, at what temp and for how long? Looking for suggestions.
Id do it on the same temp it wwas cooked and for 20 min to reheat
@@HeathRilesBBQ Thank you for the response. I did just use the oven, it was still good, but I did prefer it hot off the smoker
At any point during the cook should the tray be covered. Is there such a thing as over smoked?
I didn't cover it in this cook. You can if you prefer. We just let it roll and topped it with cheese at the end. I'm sure you can oversmoke it. This one was about 2 hours, and it was plenty. Stir every so often, add milk if it thickens up too much.
Looks awesome! It’s gonna give me bubble guts later on, but it would be worth it!
Hey I can't find plane White cheddar cheese .can I use sharp cheddar cheese ?
Which wood do you recommend to smoke this with? Thanks
I like to use hickory wood
I want to make this today to go with my ribs. I don’t have any heavy whipping cream. What can I use as an alternative
Can do a little milk with butter or corn starch
@@HeathRilesBBQ thanks. We actually had some heavy whipping cream. The Mac n cheese was so so good buddy.
@@marcalphin Love to hear it!
Hey this looks like a great simple Mac and cheese recipe but I don’t have that hot sauce and seasoning. I can’t really spend too much money either so I don’t think I can buy them. Is there good substitutes for the seasoning and hot sauce?
Yeah, you can use any hot sauce you prefer and substitute with your normal salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.
@@HeathRilesBBQI just ended up buying them anyways lol. Can’t wait to try this out! I have hickory pellets that I was gonna smoke some ribs with the Mac n cheese. Do you think the hickory would ruin the Mac n cheese because it’s a bit strong and robust?
@@vortexca888 I don't think so. I think it'd turn out fine.
If doing this on Weber kettle do you recommend indirect at 275?
Yeah, you can. More direct heat with the Weber than a pellet grill. I'd rotate it and stir more than I did in this recipe.
@@HeathRilesBBQ thanks!
@@taylorkeel8739 Any time!
Made this a few times and the taste is awesome! Trying to figure out how to make it more creamy though, for whatever reason it’s very dense you could cut it like a sheet cake, any tips?
Yes, Velveeta
Adding more cheese of your choice can always help.
@@hobiegillis9453add a little more milk while it’s piping hot and stir. Keeping adding until it’s creamy to your liking
Is that 8 bags or blocks of shredded cheese? I just want to make sure i am buying the right stuff to try it.
I'm a dummy...misheard it. It's 4 blocks. Thought he said 1 lb, not 1cup 😂
Look in the details for recipe!
Can you cook this at 350 degrees with good results? Any idea on how long to cook at 350 if so?
You can. I'd just watch it and stir it more often
@@HeathRilesBBQ thanks man! I cooked it at 325 with the ole Thanksgiving bird and it turned out great. Took a little over an hour at that temp.
@@duskur1981 Awesome! Glad y'all enjoyed
2 hrs at what temp?
275
Don’t have the cream at home.. can I make it without??
The heavy cream or the cream cheese?
I'm brand new to all this. Can I do this recipe the same way on a Weber Kettle?
You can or even in your oven. Just be careful with direct heat, stir often, and add some more milk if it thickens up on you.
@@HeathRilesBBQ Thank you so much for taking time to answer my question! Can't wait to try it!
@@AliciaLP84 Hope you enjoy!
@@HeathRilesBBQ Thank you!
@@HeathRilesBBQ Turned out amazing!
Dang! All the recipes I’ve looked up said cook the noodles first. Now I’m not sure which way I should go.
I followed this recipe to a tee and it came out perfect. I think if you cook the noodles first it would be a shorter cook than the 2 hours this takes, but the noodles absorb water rather than the milk and cream
Can definitely cook the noodles beforehand.
Salted or unsalted butter?
Unsalted.
How many people does this serve? Trying to make for ~80 folks so just wondering how many times I need to multiply this recipe....
With that many people, I'd recommend making a few batches. This was a good-sized aluminum pan, but it might go quick!
You can easily get 8 large portions out of this, probably 12 smaller ones. I would 10x it If you count on everyone getting a good sized piece
How big of a block of cheese? 8 oz?
Yes!
I seen another person do this same exact cook and the noodles on the bottom didn’t cook. Look like hard sand. Lol
Have to give it a good stir every so often. Can’t let it sit
I’ve done this twice and it was very good both times, just follow the instructions and stir every 30 minutes.
Yeah, definitely have to stir every so often and add a little more milk if you need to.
This was absolutely terrible. Never - NEVER again will I not pre-cook the noodles half way first. This turned out a sticky, starchy mess and a waste of ingredients. You have to rinse away the initial starch from the noodles. It will change the taste and texture if you don't. Also, I'll make my cheese sauce on the stove first and mix all together then smoke from now on. Really didn't like this one at all.
I didn't do that for this recipe and it turned out fine. I'd stir fairly often and add more milk as necessary.
Pro tip, throw 5-6 finely chopped pre cooked bacon slices in here.
Bacon makes everything better!
What temp do you set your temp to
275º
