Brisket Mac & Cheese

September 10, 2018 by Wrenn Leave a Comment

We love Mac and Cheese in this house. And we usually make it a main course by mixing a protein in. Sometimes we add ham steak, but then sometimes we have leftover Brisket and we throw it in and it makes it even better! So, next time you have leftover brisket you got to try this dish. Or you could even hit up your favorite BBQ joint and buy some brisket just to make this out of the world Mac and Cheese!   

Brisket Mac and Cheese

Lean Smoked Brisket 
7 Tbsp unsalted butter

6 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk

1/4 Tsp ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups grated Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
1 tsp  Arturo’s Grill seasoning  

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish or 10” cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside. We like to cook our mac in cheese in our 10” cast iron skillet.  bMac&cheese-16

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain well.
