I whipped up this recipe today for the first time. My god!! it is amazing the most delicious Mac N Cheese you will ever try in your life. I must admit it's a bit of a process, but Daang it's so good! and the family will absolutely love it. You will be a mac and cheese god!
I always learn something new from you Heath! Love the fact that you taste as you go, to me that’s more important than following any recipe exactly. Macaroni and cheese is all about putting layers of love into the dish. Going to try this version for sure! Thanks for showing us how it’s done!!!
I have never liked Mac and cheese. I had my family over for my birthday and I made your bacon Mac and cheese. It was absolutely delicious. I have finally found a Mac and cheese that I like and my family loved it. Thanks Heath
Heath, Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe! I am definitely going to make this for Thanksgiving this year. I love your channel. Please keep all the great recipes coming.
Tip I’ve learned from beef stroganoff, whipped cream cheese blends better and to let it sit at room temperature at least an hour. Blends smoothly when it’s at room temperature. But this is some good looking mac and cheese.
I'm pretty new to using yours products, but recently I used your creole and garlic butter rub and a few jalapenos to brine a turkey. And holy crap, that was the best turkey I've ever had. Hats off to you sir.
Yum yumm!! You got my eye hard l like Panko but my favorite topping is still crushed Ritz w/ butter dotted all over. I’ll have to use Malcolm’s hot sauce next time. I keep a bottle handy. Sometimes I put a couple teaspoons of smoked chipotle chili powder. Good stuff as well.
Hey Heath, this looks incredible! Thinking of making this for Thanksgiving, would I be able to prepare this the day before and then reheat the next day?
Absolutely phenomenal!! Thank you so much for this recipe and advice! Was such a hit people were practically begging for me to make it again on Christmas!
It would be interesting to know how leftovers reheated come out. I like the idea of a smoked mac n cheese. But if leftovers do not reheat well, that's not good to me.
Heath, your BBQ videos are amazing and they carry the weight of being true culinary accomplishments. Your Mac n cheese certainly looks ok, but that was not a proper roux. Whisking and cooking off that flower a bit before adding cream to thicken is essential. The butter is entirely unnecessary as a fat because you used bacon grease, which is more than enough fat to build the foundation of a proper roux. Love your videos, keep cooking that delicious bbq.
I really only do two now, Southaven Springfest and Memphis in May, unless my schedule allows time to squeeze in another. I don't know if I can say one place is stiff on ribs. Judges in areas of the country may want/like a particular way versus how one pitmaster may cook them. It's truly about the tables you land on. A lot of luck is involved sometimes.
@@HeathRilesBBQ Yeah I was thinking that. I saw 10 Bones won three years in a row at Memp in May. Thanks for responding to my questions. I've taken a lot of interest in this trade since last week and now noticed my ribs don't wave and they all stick to the bone so now I watch you and Malcom.

Appreciate it!
This one looks like a home run made for BBQ! Thanks Heath! 🍻
Appreciate it!
Great stuff, as always. Sides are way too overlooked 🤣
Agreed. Always nice to have a good side with BBQ.
Looks great.
Thanks!

Love to hear it! Thank you.
Perfect timing. My wife had some dental work and can’t eat anything too hard and crunchy. Thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for watching!
That looks amazing Heath! I will be doing this recipe next game night with my friends. Also I had no idea yeti made cast iron accessories.
They bought Butterpat!
Yep. They do. Truly a really good cast iron skillet. Thanks!
Yum yumm!! You got my eye hard l like Panko but my favorite topping is still crushed Ritz w/ butter dotted all over. I’ll have to use Malcolm’s hot sauce next time. I keep a bottle handy. Sometimes I put a couple teaspoons of smoked chipotle chili powder. Good stuff as well.
Thanks! Ritz would also be a good substitute.
Great recipe!! Can't wait for your Memphis in May videos.
I'm excited to get out there and cook some ribs!
Always wanted to try this, you make it look fairly simple…looks delicious 😋
Very simple and delicious!
Gosh dang!! That looks wonderful!
Thanks!
A true master chef
Appreciate that!
Brother you had me at Mac! This looks absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for watching!
This is on the docket, I make smoked Mac but definitely need to try this
Hope you give it a try!
Man I was just going to relax today..... but I guess I'm going to have to get that smoker rollin!
What I say every weekend! 🤣
Damn Heath. That’s some killer mac and cheese. Can’t wait to make it.
Thanks! I think you'll definitely enjoy this one.
Yummmy
Thanks!
Finally I got me a recipe
Hope you enjoy!
That looks fantastic, Heath. Hey! can I cook bacon that's already smoked on the stove, then follow the rest of the steps?
Yeah, absolutely!
Nice!
Appreciate it!
Looks great boss man !!! Been using your products for a couple years now and by far the best flavors man hell there all I use
Thanks, Devin! Appreciate all your support.
Heath. Crush up goldfish and add it to the top. Game changer
I'm sure it'd be delicious!
I gotta stop watching your vids at work🤤
Makes the day go by a little quicker!
how much cheese did you grate per oz for each type of cheese?
You can use a 6-8oz block of each
@ 😎 thanks
@@planBdeveloper Any time!
Hey Heath, this looks incredible! Thinking of making this for Thanksgiving, would I be able to prepare this the day before and then reheat the next day?
I don't see why not. Can always prepare it beforehand and then toss it in the oven on the day of too.
Appreciate the reply! Love all you do!
@@MatthewFischer1533 Thanks, Matthew!
Absolutely phenomenal!! Thank you so much for this recipe and advice! Was such a hit people were practically begging for me to make it again on Christmas!
@@MatthewFischer1533 That's great! Glad everyone enjoyed.

Leftovers reheated pretty well to me. In my experience, mac and cheese always reheats pretty well.
A little Navy secret, add a little chicken bullion powder to that ….boom!!
Have to give it a go!
@@HeathRilesBBQ to the roux
Expensive dish
Make it your own with cheaper ingredients if you prefer
Heath, your BBQ videos are amazing and they carry the weight of being true culinary accomplishments. Your Mac n cheese certainly looks ok, but that was not a proper roux.

Thanks! Turned out delicious. Please take any recipe I do and make it your own.
C'mon Heath, show us how to boil that pasta! I bet it will get a million views... 🤣😂
🤣True!
5:58 - how big are teaspoons in the states? 🤣
Measure with your heart! 🤣
@@HeathRilesBBQ 🤣🤣 sounds like my kind of measurement 🤣
1 teaspoon is equal to 5.69 grams.
I know I’m missing it somewhere; how much grated cheese?
I shred a block of each but you're welcome to use less or more
How many comps do you average a year and what state/town has the stiffest competition for ribs?
I really only do two now, Southaven Springfest and Memphis in May, unless my schedule allows time to squeeze in another. I don't know if I can say one place is stiff on ribs. Judges in areas of the country may want/like a particular way versus how one pitmaster may cook them. It's truly about the tables you land on. A lot of luck is involved sometimes.

@@genosciacca1816 Takes a lot of practice but you'll get there! I appreciate you watching our videos.
How much cheese do you use
Did a block of all 3
Somebody please get that man full sized utensils 😅
Don't hate on my utensils 🤣
I want to be your neighbor or part of your crew. Nice!
Appreciate it!
This is the low calorie diet version... right? :-)
Absolutely 🤣
Might be a dumb question but is that 1 pound dry weight of pasta?
Yes, 1lb of dry pasta that was then boiled.
I’m confused at the “leftover bacon”. Never heard of that before.
It's a rare occasion 🤣
🤮 🤮
It was very delicious but that's your opinion
