Ingredients for Mac and cheese saucepan
This dish is combined using simple ingredients full of flavors. Take a look at this list of Legen Dairy ingredients, so you will have what you need when you are ready to start:
- 2 pounds Elbow macaroni noodles (big or your favorite dough)
- ¼ cup Flour for all uses
- ¼ cup butter (I recommend the non -salted butter because the rubbing has a lot of salt)

- 8 ounces Velveta (Ornello, cube flavor)
- 8 ounces medium caddar cheese (chopped)
- 4 oz Cheddar cheese sharpened (chopped)

How to prepare the Mac saucepan and smoked cheese
Creating this cheese masterpiece is quite simple for a week’s dinner but quite impressive for your next meeting in the courtyard. Here’s how to bring together all these fantastic flavors:
- Preheat the smoker. Set your smoker at 225 degrees F and add a delicate wood such as pecan, apple or maple walnuts. This low and slow cook will affect all that good taste of bad taste with the right amount of smoke.
- Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (about 6-7 minutes). Drain with a colanderthen set aside.
- Prepare the cheese sauce. In another large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whip In the flour to form a roux, then slowly add the milk and cream, banging constantly until smooth. Add all the cheeses and the beef rubbing dressing and mix until everything melts in a rich and creamy sauce.
- Build the saucepan. Remove the cheese sauce from the heat. Mix cooked noodles and beaten eggs until everything is completely covered and combined.
- Make the seasoning. In an average bowl, mix the melted butter, the panko and the sweet rubbing. Sprinkle uniformly above the Mac and the cheese.
- Smoke the saucepan. Transfer everything to a smoking pan (if not already in one) and put it on the smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 1 hour at 225 degrees F or until the saucepan is set and the sauce is slightly golden.
- Serve and have fun. Remove from the smoker, cut into squares and dig! It is creamy, smoky and full of flavor in every bite. Cover yours
Alternative cooking methods
While I love the depth of the smoky flavor you get from the smoker, there is more than one way to fall a Mac. Here is a couple of alternatives if you don’t have access to a smoker or you just can’t wait for that saucepan.
Can I do it in the oven?
You will lose the smoky notes, but the saucepan continues to cook magnificently in a conventional oven. Simply follow the same preparation steps, then cook at 225 degrees F for about an hour until the cheese is sparkling and the seasoning becomes golden. The oven macaroni saucepan is still a classic.
Can I make it faster?
If you have little time, you can increase the temperature at 350 degrees F and reduce the cooking time to about 30 minutes. This higher temperature approach creates an incredibly crunchy and sparkling exterior with those delicious golden edges that many people love.
Even when you use your smoker at this higher temperature, you will still get some smoke flavor, but it is not as pronounced as the low and smooth method.
Store and use leftovers
This Mac and cheese stages easily and actually has an even better flavor the next day while the flavors continue to develop. Once it cools at room temperature, keep it in an airtight container or Gallon zip bag in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3-4 days. If you are looking for a creative way to use leftovers, this saucepan works perfectly for my Mac’s bites and fried cheese.
