Central Pa
2 cups uncooked noodles
1 stick butter
5oz mozzarella
11oz velveta
4 cups milk

Added some of my Tasso.

When about done I added panco on top.






Used cob smoke and smoker temp of 250-275.


Panko added and done. It adds nice crunch.

Plated.


This is fantastic, nice lite sweet smoke. Has some crunch and is thick like I wanted.

I will add more Tasso next time.

I will be making this for the gathering.
 
Holy Schmoley, I'm stuffed like a Bass on a plaque... But I'd hit a bowl of that.

This is a meal on its own. With the meat added, it's filling.



Oh heck yeah! Looks great, and I'm looking forward to a LOT of that in October!

I will try to perfect it before then. It's really good as is thou.
 
I can see the gathering is going to be damaging to the waist line.

Needs to me more creamy.   Yes I will make a big batch of this.
 
I want that right now for breakfast!!  Is that a no boil recipe?  never tried one of those.
This is a no boil recipe.   

Thanks.
 
That is on top of my to do list Thanks for sharing Points

Richie
Try it Richie.   Mac n cheese is so easy.  Just use the amount of noodles and milk I posted.  Everything else can be changed.    I will add something else next time to make it more creamy.
 
Boy that looks good Adam!

Have to give you a point for this one!

Al
Thanks Al.
 
Looks great! I like the idea of corkscrew pasta instead of just elbow mac. Lots of crevices for the cheese goodness to get into. I made this last weekend cut up a smoked sausage ring and added that along with some mustard powder for a little bite. I crushed Chili Cheese Fritos on top the last 20 minutes or so. So many things you can do with this recipe.
 
OK c-farmer, going to try this this weekend, and have a few questions.

About how long should this cook? 1hr, 1.5hrs, 2hrs?

I would imagine it needs to be stirred at some point during the cook? Yes/No?

Looks to yield approx 10-12 servings? Sound right?

Thanks and your right, hard to mess this up. We never have elbow macaroni here. I just use what ever we have. Might be sketti noodles next time.



So how long does this dish take?

Maybe 2 hours, I never measure time.



Looks delicious, Adam. We could have a gathering here, too!

Point for the recipe.

Your welcome,Disco. Bit to far for me go get to you for a gathering.

Getting a gathering going is hard work, took me awhile to get one kinda going. Hope it works out.

Cooked maybe 2 hours, I don't keep track of time, sorry.

Yes, I stirred several times.

10-12 sounds bout right.

You have to excuse me, I just cook stuff. I don't measure times, or serving sizes.

I just wing stuff.
 
When we make mac & cheese most of the time we use extra sharp cheddar some times we mix 1/2 cheddar and 1/2 pepper jack. We use condensed can milk in ours. Just some different things we do.

I can handle cheese but I'm way too lactose intolerant to mess with any amount of real milk.  I'm eyeballing lactose free dairy milk for the day I make this :)

I have to play with the recipe.

Hope you like it.   Sorry about the lactose intolerance.     I am sure lactose free milk will work.

Condensed milk is 40% sugar, used to make Desserts. I am thinking you mean Evaporated Milk.

Two cup Rotini pasta is 4 one cup servings. That is 4 small dinner portions or 8 side portions. So with the added Tasso, l could see 10-12 side portions or enough for Me, Warren and Charlie.[emoji]128512[/emoji]...Looking forward to a taste!

Adam, you want it Creamier? Add more Velveeta. More milk would work but it would be more Wet than creamy...JJ
