Ingredients
- 16 Ounce Pasta
- 1/4 Cup Butter
- 1/4 Cup Flour
- 3 Cup Milk
- 8 Ounce Cream Cheese
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Pound Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Pound Smoked Gouda
- 1/2 Pound Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the box of pasta according to the package directions, a bit al dente, in a large pot of water. I used elbow macaroni noodles but you can use any type of pasta.
- Drain your pasta when it is done cooking.
- In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat and then whisk your flour into your melted butter.
- Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Allow the milk mixture to cook for about 5 more minutes until it is thick.
- Allow the flour and butter to cook until it is a thick mixture.
- Carefully drop in the cubed cream cheese and stir in the salt and black pepper.
- Stir until cream cheese is melted into the milk mixture.
- In a large bowl combine half of the shredded cheeses together.
- Slowly mix the cream sauce into the shredded cheese mixture.
- Next, add the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce mixture.
- Spray an aluminum 9 X 13 pan with a nonstick spray. Now I used 9x13 disposable aluminum pans that are disposable to make this. If you use a baking pan the smoker will stain this, but you could also make this in a cast iron skillet or cast iron pan as well.
- Spread the cheesy pasta into the sprayed pan.
- In another bowl mix together the remaining shredded cheese and sprinkle top with a combination of cheeses onto the top of the pasta.
- Set your smoker on the smoke setting will add smoke flavor and smoke for about 20 minutes, or longer if you want a stronger smoky flavor.
- Turn the temperature up to 225 and smoke for another hour until bubbly.
