“I wanted to make mac and cheese. Had some bacon that I needed to use and was also curious about using evaporated milk for more creaminess. Not only did it come out creamy but it was delicious. After eating this my husband said it was spectacular.” – Lora

“When we were growing up, Mama used to make the best homemade macaroni and cheese I ever ate. I really wish I had her recipe, but since I don’t, I made up my own. I take it to all the family dinners and receive rave reviews – but that’s just because they never ate Mama’s! It’s good, but not as good as Mama’s!” – Becky

“This baked mac and cheese is so creamy and delicious. It’s great for a Crock Pot too. 4 hours on low if using Crock Pot. There are never any leftovers when I make this dish. SO YUMMY!!! IT DOES FREEZE WELL FOR LATER DATES. SIDE NOTE: I throw it under the broiler for an extra four min just because I love the top to be brown and a little crispy, but again that’s a personal preference. I made it again this weekend and instead of pepper jack I used Cabots Habanero Cheddar. It was very spicy but SOOO good. =)” – Samantha

“After trying to make a really good mac n cheese in our smoker several times, I finally came up with one that is creamy and not too dry. If the cheese sauce is too thick to start with, it comes out too dry after it is smoked. Also, undercooking the macaroni helps it not to get mushy when smoked. While I usually like bread crumb topping on it, that doesn’t work in the smoker. It gets way too dried out. I found just cheese on top works best. Feel free to use a cheese variety of cheeses that suit your tastes and budget. This is what worked to put a big smile on my family’s faces. Enjoy!” – Dee

“Nine kinds of cheese? Oh, yeah! I was craving macaroni and cheese but wanted something a little different and this is what I came up with. Believe it or not, I didn’t even include every cheese in my refrigerator! I listed that the recipe serves 6, but you’d better get an extra big helping because there probably won’t be any left for seconds!” – Teresa
