  • 8 oz gouda cheese cubed

  • 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded

  • 8 oz cream cheese

  • 16 oz elbow macaroni cooked and drained

  • 3 tsp garlic powder

  • 3 tsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

  • Tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk

  1. Preheat your smoker to 250°F.

  2. Chop the Velveeta, Gouda, and 8 oz of the sharp cheddar cheese into cubes.

  3. Add the cubed Velveeta, Gouda and sharp cheddar cheese to a 9 x 12 baking dish. Place the block of cream cheese on top.

  6. In the meantime, shred the remaining 8oz of cheddar cheese and boil the macaroni until al dente (about 10 minutes).

  7. After one hour, stir the cheese mixture until well combined and creamy. If the mixture looks too thick, add more milk.

  9. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the same baking dish, then top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and place back on the smoker, increasing the temperature to 325°F.

  10. Let it smoke for another 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and melted on top. Serve immediately and enjoy.
