    Default Smoked Mac and Cheese with Cheddar and Gouda

    1/2 cup butter
    4 tablespoons flour
    1 tablespoon mustard powder
    2 cups half and half
    4oz cream cheese
    3 cups cheddar
    1.5 cups gouda

    1 cup Italian bread crumbs
    1/4 cup butter

    1. Cook noodles until al dente. You don't want to cook until done or they'll be soggy by the time they are done in the smoker
    2. Preheat smoker to 225 degrees using a mild wood like apple, cherry, etc.
    3. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet and whisk in flour until a smooth thin paste forms. Then mix in mustard powder.
    4. Pour in the half and half and bring up to a boil while whisking. Reduce heat and whisk in cream cheese until smooth.
    5. Whisk in cheddar cheese and gouda cheese and stir until melted. Turn off the heat and pour in the cooked macaroni noodles. Stir until the noodles are coated by the cheese sauce.
    6. Transfer it to an aluminum baking pan that will fit in your smoker.
    7. Combine 1/4 cup of melted butter and Italian bread crumbs in bowl and mix until the bread crumbs are coated. Then sprinkle over the top of the mac and cheese.
    8. Place pan in smoker for 1 hour. You can smoke for longer if you want a stronger smoke flavor but the noodles and cheese take on the smoke flavor pretty quickly.
    9. Serve while it's still warm and the cheese is good and melty.

    It's my families favorite now and works well especially if you're smoking something that needs to rest. I usually do this when smoking a pork butt since I rest mine for an hour after it comes out of the smoker anyway. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as we do!

    I promise that they don't! LOL Just getting to my rack is an evolution in and of itself. It requires a trip down three ladders from my shop and the last one is through a small scuttle with an almost straight vertical drop. Then if you consider that I'm 6'4" tall and 240lbs and I sleep in a box that might be 24" tall, 38" wide and 6'6" long there isn't much room for wiggling around. And I'm on a top rack! My shower isn't much bigger than my rack so that's no picnic either!

    Ring King, I don't miss that at all, my last boat was a 110 out of Valdez with the generator about 1 foot from my head with only a little insulation and 1/8" of steel between us! Stay safe!

    The gray water lift station is right behind the bulkhead where my pillow sits. It sounds just like the drums from Jumanji when they start pumping in the middle of the night. I'm also way up forward on the ship so when we are in big seas it's like an anti gravity chamber. I almost levitate off my mattress as the bow drops! LOL

    I’m getting claustrophobic and sick to my stomach just reading that. Stay safe and I’m going to have to give that recipe a try!
