Directions:
1. Stoke the Traeger Ironwood XL or your grill of choice with Royal Oak Charcoal Hardwood Pellets and fire it up to 325℉.
2. Set a YETI 12" Cast Iron Skillet under the grill’s racks, then lay the bacon over the top. Shut the lid and let the bacon smoke for one hour until crisp. Let cool, then chop into small pieces.
3. Keep the grease in the YETI 12" Cast Iron Skillet and move the pan to a burner set to low. Add the butter, stirring until melted. Whisk in the flour, mixing until light brown. Stir in the ground mustard, Heath Riles BBQ Everyday Rub, and half and half.

5. Transfer the cooked macaroni to a large kitchen bowl and pour the roux over top. Gently stir until the mixture is homogenous. Add a large handful of the remaining shredded cheddar, chopped bacon, and a dash of Killer Hogs Hot Sauce.
6. Transfer the mac and cheese to a 12" Cast Iron Skillet, layering it with the shredded cheese. Top the dish with more shredded cheese, then combine the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and Heath Riles BBQ Sweet BBQ Rub. Sprinkle the topping over the Smoked Bacon Mac and Cheese.
7. Set the pan back on the Traeger Ironwood XL and smoke the mac and cheese for about 45 minutes, spinning the pan at the halfway mark. Remove from the grill and let cool. Enjoy!

I whipped up this recipe today for the first time.
My god!! it is amazing the most delicious Mac N Cheese
you will ever try in your life.
I must admit it's a bit of a process, but Daang it's so good!
and the family will absolutely love it.
You will be a mac and cheese god!
It is a process but very good! So glad you enjoyed.
This is going to be good my grandson will love this. My whole family will thank you can't wait for the next one
Hope y'all enjoy!
Finally I got me a recipe
Hope you enjoy!
I always learn something new from you Heath! Love the fact that you taste as you go, to me that’s more important than following any recipe exactly. Macaroni and cheese is all about putting layers of love into the dish. Going to try this version for sure! Thanks for showing us how it’s done!!!
Always try to taste a little as I go. Can always add more seasoning if necessary. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Perfect timing. My wife had some dental work and can’t eat anything too hard and crunchy. Thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for watching!
This one looks like a home run made for BBQ! Thanks Heath! 🍻
Appreciate it!
Yum yumm!! You got my eye hard l like Panko but my favorite topping is still crushed Ritz w/ butter dotted all over. I’ll have to use Malcolm’s hot sauce next time. I keep a bottle handy. Sometimes I put a couple teaspoons of smoked chipotle chili powder. Good stuff as well.
Thanks! Ritz would also be a good substitute.
Great stuff, as always. Sides are way too overlooked 🤣
Agreed. Always nice to have a good side with BBQ.
Tip I’ve learned from beef stroganoff, whipped cream cheese blends better and to let it sit at room temperature at least an hour. Blends smoothly when it’s at room temperature. But this is some good looking mac and cheese.
Appreciate it!
Brother you had me at Mac! This looks absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for watching!
That looks amazing Heath! I will be doing this recipe next game night with my friends. Also I had no idea yeti made cast iron accessories.
They bought Butterpat!
Yep. They do. Truly a really good cast iron skillet. Thanks!
Great recipe!! Can't wait for your Memphis in May videos.
I'm excited to get out there and cook some ribs!
Gosh dang!! That looks wonderful!
Thanks!
Always wanted to try this, you make it look fairly simple…looks delicious 😋
Very simple and delicious!
I'm pretty new to using yours products, but recently I used your creole and garlic butter rub and a few jalapenos to brine a turkey. And holy crap, that was the best turkey I've ever had. Hats off to you sir.
Love to hear it! Thank you.
Man I was just going to relax today..... but I guess I'm going to have to get that smoker rollin!
What I say every weekend! 🤣
Damn Heath. That’s some killer mac and cheese. Can’t wait to make it.
Thanks! I think you'll definitely enjoy this one.
Looks great boss man !!! Been using your products for a couple years now and by far the best flavors man hell there all I use
Thanks, Devin! Appreciate all your support.
This is on the docket, I make smoked Mac but definitely need to try this
Hope you give it a try!
Heath. Crush up goldfish and add it to the top. Game changer
I'm sure it'd be delicious!
Nice!
Appreciate it!
That looks fantastic, Heath. Hey! can I cook bacon that's already smoked on the stove, then follow the rest of the steps?
Yeah, absolutely!
Expensive dish
Make it your own with cheaper ingredients if you prefer
C'mon Heath, show us how to boil that pasta! I bet it will get a million views... 🤣😂
🤣True!
Heath, your BBQ videos are amazing and they carry the weight of being true culinary accomplishments. Your Mac n cheese certainly looks ok, but that was not a proper roux. Whisking and cooking off that flower a bit before adding cream to thicken is essential. The butter is entirely unnecessary as a fat because you used bacon grease, which is more than enough fat to build the foundation of a proper roux. Love your videos, keep cooking that delicious bbq.
Thanks! Turned out delicious. Please take any recipe I do and make it your own.
This is the low calorie diet version... right? :-)
Absolutely 🤣
How many comps do you average a year and what state/town has the stiffest competition for ribs?
I really only do two now, Southaven Springfest and Memphis in May, unless my schedule allows time to squeeze in another. I don't know if I can say one place is stiff on ribs. Judges in areas of the country may want/like a particular way versus how one pitmaster may cook them. It's truly about the tables you land on. A lot of luck is involved sometimes.
@@HeathRilesBBQ Yeah I was thinking that. I saw 10 Bones won three years in a row at Memp in May. Thanks for responding to my questions. I've taken a lot of interest in this trade since last week and now noticed my ribs don't wave and they all stick to the bone so now I watch you and Malcom.
@@genosciacca1816 Takes a lot of practice but you'll get there! I appreciate you watching our videos.
I know I’m missing it somewhere; how much grated cheese?
I shred a block of each but you're welcome to use less or more
