Mac and Cheese is one of my absolute favorite foods. I wanted something creamy and rich and this turned out exactly as I had hoped it would! It's a great family meal. My husband and one year old absolutely loved it.

Steps

1 hr 30 minutes

1

To begin, prepare your cheese. Cut as much of the Brie rind as possible. Block cheddar usually yields a smoother taste, but I used a bag of Shredded medium cheese. Cut your cream cheese and butter into cubes
2

Add all your cheese and butter to a medium pot. On a low-medium heat melt your cheese. Once you have started your cheese begin preparing your noodles according to the package instructions. Start your smoker to 180°
3

Once your cheese is almost completely melted, add in your heavy whipping cream, I used about 1/2 cup. You don't want it to be super thick. As the smoker will condensed it down a bit. Whisk everything together until its nice and smooth.
4

Now that everything is combined, add your salt, pepper, garlic (I used a good amount since I love garlic) and just a dash of nutmeg. Use salt and pepper to your taste preference.
Drain your noodles, and combine everything in pan of your choice. I used a 9×9. I ended up leaving out some of the noodles as you want all your noodles to be well covered with excess sauce.
5

Place your Mac and cheese in the middle of your Traeger. I used apple pellets and used my super smoker settings for 20 minutes.
6

After 20 minutes, remove the dish. Heat the Traeger to 350°. Once it is up to temperature cook covered with foil for 15-20 minutes.
