Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Mac-N-Cheese

Nope, the boy asked for ribs, Mac and corn on the cob

Everyone got their appetite and taste buds back.

We never had ribs at school lunch.

Trying to get you one.

We had a fish fry yesterday and my nephew smoked a big tray of Mac n cheese.

Pretty sure he said 5 different cheeses.

I shot him a text to get it for you.

Yep, time for some health food.

School lunch tacos?

👍 thanks

I didn't sample it, too full on crappie, hush puppies and beers, but he got nothing bit compliments. Uses it for his catering business and sells it at their grocery store where they serve smoked meats as well.

Looks similar to what I’ve done. I’ll try it, thanks

You said you were in a hurry and I may be too late but for your next smoked Mac N Cheese adventure here is what it do:

Stophers family size cooked in the oven as per directions.

Add to the top after cooking:
-a layer of Italian bread crumbs
-Cavenders Greek seasoning
-Slap ya Mama Cajun seasoning
-Salt and Pepper
-3/4+/- lb of bacon cooked and crumbled

Then smoke it for 20-30 min.

Cooked elbow noodles, shredded Tillamook medium cheddar, and either diced Italian stewed tomatoes or diced Mexican stewed tomatoes mixed in, smoke until cheese is melted thru.

We get the Costco Mac-n-Cheese from the fresh case. Then grate up a couple cups of Tillamook sharp cheddar (smoked if I have any) and dice up some ham (cup or two). Mix it all back into the mac. As there's only two of us we split it up into thirds and put it into new smaller tins coated with some Pam or oil. Put some shaved parmesan on top of each. Freeze two and put the other in the oven (or smoker) with a loose covering of foil. Heat to 160. Eat with tabasco.

This thread flung a craving on me so I made a batch with a recipe from a cook in Zimbabwe we called " Batman". It is in the oven as I type this.

3 big onion slices, chopped
3T butter
6T flour
2.5 T hot sauce
1/4 t pepper
16oz American or cheddar cheese
12oz swiss cheese
3 cups whole milk
16 Oz dry pasta
3 T honey mustard

Saute the onions in the butter, add the flour to make a roux, then throw in everything else but the Swiss cheese and the pasta, cook on medium till you have a sauce.

Cook the pasta and put a layer an inch or so deep in your loaf pan(s)
Cover it with sauce and a layer of swiss cheese either slices or grated
Repeat
Repeat

Sprinkle some cornflake or bread crumbs on top and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

voila!

Thanks for the ideas, all sound good, I still have plenty of time. Might do a combo with the ideas given and what I have on hand .

Al Dente pasta, butter, cheeses you like ( we always add Gouda along with cheddar, mozzarella etc..) bread crumbs on top, smoker.

Bout to throw a pan in mine in a few along with the salmon.

Put some smoked paparika in it as well

Horseradish and Dijon mustard.

WTF?

Good call.

One of my most favorite spices.
