Build a roux in skillet pan, I used bacon grease & AP flour, make sure to cook out the flour. Add milk (I used whipping cream 33%) & once boiling, reduce heat to thicken.
I used a combination of Jalapeno pepperjack & grand padana cheese. Shred/grate & add to thickened sauce, taste & season as/if necessary. Add back pasta, stir thoroughly & chill.
Bring to smoker, in skillet & cool smoke to desired "smokiness". I did an hour fifteen using Jack Daniels barrel chips.
Reheat, Mac & Bol, when ready to serve & dig in !
*** If you don't want, or have the ability to smoke, I have used smoked paprika before to good effect.
Mac&cheese with meat sauce!!!!! You can bet your bippy I'll be making some of that as soon as I kill a Deer.
