Ingredients
  

  • Lean Smoked Brisket
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 lb shell macaroni
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp Arturo's grill seasoning

Instructions
 

  • 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.  
  • 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. 
  • Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the flour, and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to let the flour brown.
  • Using a whisk, add the milk in a steady stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Add the salt, pepper, and 2 cups of the cheese, and stir well. 
  • Add the noodles and the brisket and stir well. Pour into the prepared skillet. 
  • Mix the remaining ½ cup of cheese, the bread crumbs and the grill seasoning together in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 minutes. 
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
