Spent some time looking at all the crazy entries in the last throw down and figured it was about time to smoke one.  Here are the starter pics:

Started by cooking a thinly sliced steak, mushrooms, green pepper, and onion in EVOO.


Prepped meat - 1lb ground chuck, 1/3lb pork sausage


Meat with toppings and an Italian Blend + Pepper Jack



Rolled and wrapped.


Mac and Cheese started with homemade cheddar and gouda sauce:


On to the smoker!
 
Mac and cheese just went on for ~2 hours or so, added some panko and more shredded cheese to the top.  Will let you know, smoking with apple today.
 
 
Looks good!  I'm curious about how much smoke flavor the mac-n-cheese gets?
I always, always do mac n cheese in the smoker now. Pretty much awesome and it does depend what wood you are using how much smoke it takes. I like fruitwood for casseroles in the smoker. Adds a bit of sweet smoke flavor.

Agree - I use apple/cherry a lot with casserole type dishes.  Sometimes a hickory and pecan can overpower a bit.
 
Looks perfect. Making me think about going to the store. I made a ton of smoked jalapeno queso yesterday and could easily just use that for my cheese. Hmmmm.... Might just have to try it.
 
Hey Briggy, also A lot of folks around here do no boil mac n cheese too. Just double the milk and add A little time. One less step and less dirty dishes. Just A thought. That is from memory so you might want to search for No Boil Mac and Cheese before you try it. sorry edit.

Thanks Timberjet - I boiled that one for 5 minutes before putting on.  You can also do similar to lasagna and just soak the noodles in hot water for 30 minutes (no stove needed).

Do you have a good recipe for that queso?
