Thank you! Not gonna lie... Neighbors were probably wondering why I was carrying a plate of food around the yard looking for good lighting and background haha.

Let cool for a bit and slice away! This all depends on thickness of the gravy and if you are trying to take photos haha. I let it cool completely to make sure the shape held...

Bacon Mac with Velveeta and Tilamook! (this is a double batch and about the consistency we like)

Final Thoughts... I was super happy with this. A lot of effort if you make the crusts yourself but store bought would speed this up exponentially! I think this would be a good candidate for making some smaller pies and freezing in advance for later consumption. The flavors were so good and worked so well together. The flaky top crust with of course a nice butter profile. The Brisket retained it's delicious flavors and smoke. The Gravy was just thick enough to coat and hold together. The veggies mixed in nicely. The bottom crust held up too which was my goal. I could've gone a touch thicker but it wasn't that soggy.

The first one I did had chunkier brisket and I prefer that over this. The texture got a little monotone with the fine chop. I'll add jalapenos next time too! But other than that, I'm super happy with how it tuned out! I think I did OK for just looking a picture and running with it from there. In all reality this is basically a Brisket Pot Pie with a bottom crust. Or at least that's the direction I took it. I will be making this again and continuing to tweak it. This is, in my opinion, a great "base recipe" or style to play with.

Any and all thoughts, ideas, tweaks, or feedback always appreciated! I am not a baker nor a chef so I know there are improvements to be made! different dough possibly?

Thanks for putting up with my long posts but I do try and make them Pic HEAVY to make up for it. Sorry for the server storage bill @TulsaJeff !


Cheers Y'all!

That looks incredible - you've outdone yourself on this one!

That’s beyond incredible! Wow! Just wow!

I just realized a la mode is pie with ice cream and the macaroni resembles a scoop of ice cream. Mind blown! I’ll go back under my rock now.

Thanks Robert! This was one of my more fun cooks of recent memory. Just the challenge from the start and all the different components. It'll be coming back later with some tweaks for sure. Hoping to be on here more as well! Thanks for checking in! Hope all is well.
