Bacon Mac & Cheese

Mac & Cheese an American dish that brings back childhood memories to all adults. We have a small twist with this recipe, beyond the rich cheesiness, we're going to add  bacon and some fruit wood smoke. Everything you need for a great Mac & Cheese Ingredients : 16oz pasta 8oz velvettta 1 cup of sharp cheese 1/2 cup of sharp cheese 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of flour 5 slices of bacon 1 oz of goldfish crackers (crushed) about 1/3 cup 1 cup of milk 1 tsp of GMG chipotle garlic rub   Directions: Step 1- Cook 16oz of your favorite pasta according to directions on box ( we used large macaroni), then set aside. Step 2- In a large skillet cook 5 slices of bacon, when done set bacon aside and remove half of the bacon grease. Step 3- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the remaining bacon grease in the skillet and melt over low heat. Next add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir over low heat until golden and no lumps remain, making a roux.

Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees, anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using. About Our Recipes The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain. Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it…
