SMOKED MAC AND CHEESE

Smoked Mac and Cheese image

I found this smoked mac and cheese recipe years ago in a magazine, and kept adding and taking away ingredients until I found the perfect combination. You can bake it in the oven, but grilling or smoking the dish is the real way to go. -Stacey Dull, Gettysburg, Ohio
