Normally we make these as a small appetizer. I thought I’d try them in the larger silicone muffin cups.
you can put these in the smoker and baked them. I was experimenting so I just used smoked cheddar that we have from the last batch I smoked.
the recipe that I use is pretty simple. And I will post it in the photos. It’s a good base and you can add anything to it. Three ingredients, four if you count the water.
You can use whatever cheese you like or a mixture. Same goes for the spices. I kept it simple with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder for this test batch. I like to add hot sauce but I didn’t this time.
Once you have your man c cheese made you’ll want to set your muffin cups ready. Spray the inside with Pam. Put a liberal
Amount of the cheap grated Parmesan in each cup. Swirl around to coat bottom and sides. Place on a sheet or in a cast iron pan. Scoop Mac n cheese into cups and fill. Place in fridge and allow to set for at least 1hr and up to 4 days. Note: you can freeze at this stage if you want.
Set up smoker or oven for 350.
While the smoker heats up take Mac n cheese cups out of fridge and top with more grated Parmesan, salt, pepper and if desired hot sauce.
Place into smoker and cook for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. If tops aren’t browned use a torch or place under broiler until you have the desired color.
Allow to cool slightly and serve. They can also be served cold.
here’s the small cups versus the big cups I used.
