Smoked Mac N' Cheese: The Perfect Potluck Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

smoked gouda

🥗Healthier: regular gouda

💰Cheaper: cheddar

Regular gouda is lower in cost and still provides a creamy texture.

Bring 6 cups of chicken broth to a rolling boil in the Traeger Timberline XL.

Add 2 tablespoons of stone ground mustard to the boiling broth.

Stir in 16 oz of elbow noodles and cook until al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes, without straining the pasta.

Remove from heat and add 2 cups of pepper jack cheese and 3 to 4 cups of medium cheddar cheese; stir until melted and combined.

Sprinkle panko bread crumbs over the top for a crunchy coating.

Add a light coating of Blanco seasoning on top of the panko.

Transfer the mixture to the smoker set at 225°F (107°C) and smoke for about 30 to 40 minutes until bubbly and slightly darker in color.

Remove from smoker and serve.
