Great looking food. I need to try that mac and cheese. I have one  that I make with 7 cheeses and it is really expensive so this would be a great alternative.

What is the recipe?  I do baked beans in the smoker all the time but never thought about doing Mac & Cheese......

There is an awesome mac & cheese recipe on the back of a velveta cheese box. I know, but check it out! It's the one that my mother used to make 50 years ago. I don't think it has ever changed.
