One of my most requested dishes is smoked Mac & Cheese:
2 cups dry mac (yes dry / uncooked mac)
1/2 stick of salted butter (melted)
3 cups milk (1 or 2%)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
12oz colby cheese (cubed or shredded)
12oz pepper jack (cubed or shredded)
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all those together put them into a 9x13 pan and smoke at 250 for approx 2 hours mixing every 30 mins. Once the consistency is correct I remove it from the smoker and add some shredded cheese (normally mexican mix) then bread crumbs to the top and broil @ 400 for 5-6 mins until brown.
I always add 1/2 a chopped sweet onion and a chopped up red pepper. 6-8 strips of bacon can't hurt either. I've tried chicken, bacon, pesto mac that was also really good.

I've made that several times and it was a bit greasy. I have not made it in a while. I may skip the butter next time. The cheese seems to have enough grease.

Yeah, I get that. I'm almost 300# so I know how to eat comfort food. ;D It was just too greasy for me and more so for my wife. So, I don't need to eat a whole pan by myself so I need to make it less greasy so she will eat it too.
