Our absolute favorite combination is sharp Cheddar and smoked Gouda. To keep this recipe simple, we only use two types, but if you want a more complex flavor profile, replace some of the sharp Cheddar with another type. The best mac and cheese uses a mixture of several kinds of cheese. We don’t recommend oil replacing the butter this recipe needs the high-fat content of butter (more fat = better sauce). This creates the roux that ensures this mac ‘n cheese ends up ultra thick and clings beautifully to the pasta. It’s got a lot of cheese! If you aren’t a fan of saucy mac ‘n cheese, this recipe may not be the best for you. This mac and cheese is intentionally very saucy and indulgent tasting. So today we’ve got a super saucy, ultra cheesy, very rich mac and cheese dinner rippled with sweet BBQ pulled pork (or beef). I recently had a BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese at a restaurant that was nothing short of unforgettable! Of course, a recreation (but simplified) had to be made and needed to qualify for this series.
