This was an awesome recipe and the pics don’t do it justice. By far one of the best Mac and cheese I’ve had. If anyone wants the recipe I will try to get it typed out and posted later this evening.

4 Cheese Smoked Mac and Cheese

8oz block of cream cheese

1 cup each of Gruyere, smoked Gouda and white Cheddar shredded off the block. (You can sub any cheese you want but this combo worked very well together)

3 1/4 cups of half and half (if you want it REALLY creamy use 4 cups)

16oz pack of macaroni, shells or whatever you prefer.

1 package of bacon (two would allow you to put bacon in the Mac as well as on top)



Enough shredded Colby jack/cheddar cheese (pre shredded from store) to cover top of tray

1 1/2-2 cups of panko bread crumbs

1 stick of butter - melted

1. Preheat to 220
2. Smoke cream cheese at 200 for about 90 min.
3. Boil water and noodles while cream cheese is smoking. Cook approx two min shorter than package suggests. Drain.
4. Add cream cheese to half and half and mix with a whisk. Make sure cream cheese is mixed in and no lumps. Put back on smoker for another 30min.
5. Combine cream cheese, half and half with Gruyère, Gouda and cheddar. Combine well and then add cooked noodles. Stir in noodles until coated with mixture.
6. Melt butter and combine with panko so that most of the panko is coated with the butter.
7. Add Colby/cheddar to top of noodles followed by panko bread crumbs.
8. Put tray back on the smoker at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

At this point I pulled the tray and it was plenty done. If you wanted the topping more golden you could leave it a little longer til you get the color you want.
