Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 7 cups water
  • 1 lb pasta
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Velveeta diced
  • 3/4 cup American cheese diced, 4-5 slices
  • 6 tbsp butter sliced
  • 1/2 block cream cheese diced

Instructions
 

  • Set Traeger to 225 
  • On the stove, bring water to boil in large pot – BE SURE TO MEASURE THE WATER!!! 
    7 cups water
  • When boiling, add in macaroni and boil 1/2 way (approx 5 min) 
    1 lb pasta
  • After macaroni boils for five min, add cheeses and butter to pot (no draining) and stir
    2 cups cheddar cheese, 1 cup Velveeta, 3/4 cup American cheese, 6 tbsp butter
  • Spray disposable aluminum pan with nonstick spray (you could also use a Dutch oven for the entire process from stove to Traeger)
  • Transfer macaroni mixture to aluminum pan 
  • Carefully place pan onto Traeger 
  • Smoke for 60 minutes - stirring every 30 min
  • Add cream cheese and smoke 30 minutes more
    1/2 block cream cheese
  • Let Mac & cheese rest for at least 15 minutes. Sauce will thicken up after it stands – or is even better the next day!
