Super Bowl Ribs & Dutch Oven Smoked Mac N Cheese

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

Ribs have been salted with kosher and the membranes removed. They are marinating in the fridge.

The Dutch Oven Smoked Macaroni is on the smoker with hickory wood.

I used Jeff’s recipe sans the bacon and pulled pork. I also substituted medium shells instead of the elbows.

Macaroni has been on the smoker for about a half an hour.

And as you can see I have a new drip mat for the smoker to keep grease and whatnot off the patio. For $16
I really like it!

9 guests coming tomorrow.

Other sides will be
- pork n beans
- potato salad
- cole slaw
- sweet dinner rolls

More pics to come tomorrow afternoon!

I'd be interested in your beans and slaw recipes and directions

I stir multiple times during the smoke to get it in more of the sauce.
Looking at your method makes me thing the cheese takes in more of the smoke flavor.

Guests are bringing the slaw. Store bought.

Pork ‘N Beans

2 large cans of Van Camp’s Pork N Beans
1/2 cup ketchup
3/4 cup of KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce Original (if you want a darker color to your beans add more until you achieve desired result).
1/4 cup of brown sugar.
Mix all in a pan on medium heat until it begins to bubble.

Thanks, I like to go from regular pintos in a can and build from there. Always interested in others recipes though thanks for sharing. Gonna do my pork and beans for the SB with some St louis ribs, Queso sans meat and taco salad hehe. Only two of us so i will end up freezing 3/4th of the queso and half the baked beans /sob

Good lordy, that looks good.

Man those ribs in the smoker look beautiful!!! Crushing it!

 

[MileHiGuy]

What is the brand of the rib hanger you are using? I assume you are happy with it. I've thought about getting one myself. I have a WSM, although its a 22". I don't usually need more rack space but occasionally I do.

And I agree, it is a beautiful day for smoking here in CO. I may fire my rig up in a bit, I have had 10.7 lbs or pork bellies brining for a week to make into bacon.

 

[Brokenhandle]

That looks good! Think maybe you have turned into a rib master!
