Smoked Brisket Mac and Cheese

[@KnightOnBaldMountain]

Brother, ignore the trolls. Your instructional videos are first rate.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you!

[@Chuck5653]

Side dish??? THAT is an entire meal Matt. Holy smokes!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Agreed!

[@jsatre5504]

Nobody does smoked food better than you Matt. These videos are gold, thanks for sharing your talent and inspiring us all.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I sincerely appreciate that!!!

[@randymo8709]

The smoked cream cheese seems like it could be a real game changed. Thanks for doing more outdoor side dishes. Keep em' coming.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Proud of that element. It's great!

[@eyoung74]

Matt you’ve inspired me to to grill often. I just made the Mac and Cheese. Family loved it as well as the brisket I made last weekend. Love your videos! They’re real and authentic. Thank you Sir!

[@johnhurlbut]

I just don't know when I'm ever going to have left over brisket! This looks amazing as always Matt! Thank You!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I had to plan for sure. :)

[@zman7953]

The best BBQ teacher in the bizness. Cheers to you and Dolly.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I really appreciate that! -Matt

[@TheVanWinkel]

13:45 is my genuine reaction to seeing this. Just wanted to say thank you for prepping and creating these videos for us in a digestible manner!

[@stevenkramer4536]

I do smoked Mac and cheese at events. My secret to awesome toasted breadcrumbs is to pre toast them on a sheet tray and take them with me. It’s easier to keep adding a little milk or butter to the pans of Mac and cheese on the smoker to keep it creamy and then sprinkle the bread crumbs on during the last 15 mins before I serve.

[@Nick73729]

Can’t recall you ever swearing when you tasted the dish 😂😂😂. This truly looks epic. I can’t wait to do another brisket just so I can use the leftovers to make this! Thanks for another awesome video!

[@SirPartyRoc]

Just when I thought I reached the end of Mac-n-cheese recipes you come up with a new one. The butter in panko is genius for the crust. Smoked cream cheese for the extra smoke. I look forward to making this recipe.

[@Rockdav364]

Excellent recipe right here. Going to be making loads of Brisket Man n’ Cheese for a work event next weekend, so I greatly appreciate the guidance! Keep the great tips and smoked goodness coming!

[@scott729]

Wife was gone over the weekend and I had some leftover brisket so I made a quick version of this which turned out pretty good ... wish I would have gone full blown on it, but it was a last minute decision. I ate the entire cast iron skillet full of it. Shame on me. Full disclosure, over two meals 🙂. I do all of the cooking in our family and I make a hell of a mess every single night. Thanks Matt, I will add those cheeses next time, great idea.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Scott!!!!

[@jasonhollinger9513]

First off, if you are looking to hire a taste tester, I'm available. Lol... This looks amazing man. I'm a big fan of the sides. My three favorite sides are mac n cheese, baked beans and slaw. Lastly, I'm enjoying the wrap-up videos. Getting those compliments from family is gold. One of my sons will only eat the bacon that I home cure. My youngest gets excited when I make it. Again, those compliments from family are gold. I even made about 80 pounds of bacon a couple of years ago and took it a homeless ministry in Trinidad Colorado. They loved it as well. Keep up the great work man. These videos are always a good part of my Wednesday's.

[@FreeBird614Two]

So love this recipe so much... huge fan and anything MAC & CHEESE, Sriracha, Buffalo, Blue Cheese, BBQ prepare your meat of choice and there you go!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Damn, sounds good.

[@leesims]

Love your channel, can't wait to try this recipe, Love Dolly (Australian Sheppard?) I have a Mini.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Yes she is Aussie\Blue Healer

[@ZenoMuncrief1]

It's like you read my mind. I was wondering... What would meat church do with Mac and cheese... And 💥 boom! Very delicious! I also make a huge mess when I cook... I know the pain!

[@jimfeger2391]

I put this together today. Gonna bake it tomorrow. I can’t wait!

[@georgemuneio3786]

Looks awesome Matt. Been smoking for years, going to make this for my next family outing. Love the videos, I look to your videos often for advice. Thanks - keep smoking

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you so much George!!

[@mikewelter869]

Loved your reaction when you tasted it, looks delicious!! Loved Dolly! I always have my little smoking buddy Kodiak at my feet!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love that!

[@Phanstern1419]

Great dish!! I add smoked green chilies to the mix, sometimes without the brisket. That adds a fun kick.

[@JustinReynoldsUtah]

That Traeger Mac & Cheese is my favorite from them. Glad you are brining some light to that recipe.

[@bobsmith8857]

I've made smoked Mac n Cheese before, but like the idea of smoked cream cheese and smoking the liquid. Have some left over brisket, guess this will be made today!

[@darinrowberry4909]

Another masterpiece Matt! I’ve been smoking food for years and I haven’t done Mac and cheese before. Looks like I’m in for a weekend brisket and a killer side dish!👍

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Enjoy it!

[@mikeymutual5489]

Good recipe! No roux or eggs needed if you melt in some cream cheese! The only changes I would have made is to use whole milk instead of half and half (there is *plenty* of fat in the cheeses), only a half a package of cream cheese and seasoned traditional breadcrumbs (properly toasted on top) instead of tasteless panko for the topping.

[@RAMKILLER97]

Brother, trying to keep the videos shorter?! I can sit here and watch you cook up delicious meals all day! Love all you’re recipes and can’t wait to try this one!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Enjoy!

[@Dan-pp8oy]

Matt, I made the Mac and Cheese for Father’s Day for family. Thank you so much for the recipe! I also cooked some chicken and steak and reviewed your videos for how to cook them on the grill (how often to turn). I got some great compliments…I deferred them all to you.

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Matt! I have done Mac & cheese on my Traeger before but nothing like this. Being from Nova Scotia, I usually add lobster and scallops, but I’m going to try brisket. Your smoked cream cheese idea sounds very enticing. Keep them coming! Hope you had a great Easter.

[@jimerickson542]

Hell yeah. I usually incorporate rub into the panko topping, gives it a nice color. That and a poblano with some bacon if I didn't have brisket frozen

[@HarleyRider1]

You’re a bad ass outdoor cook . Learning a lot.

[@tricepilot]

Yesterday I made this recipe and used my Pit Boss vertical smoker to smoke it. The results were excellent! I used brisket from the local Harmon's BBQ. I made a serving to welcome a new family to the street and one for a guy who had just come home from the hospital. The portion we had was gone in one sitting. I'm going to be making your shotgun shells next.

[@docsolliday9981]

Bro I’ve been doing smoked Mac and cheese for awhile and never thought about smoking the cheese sauce and putting everything together. Definitely doing this. 🙌🏻 Father Matt🙌🏻

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Cheers!

[@ted8100]

I always save some brisket for another recipe or experiment. I'm looking forward to trying this for my next pot luck meal, looks delicious.

[@camerong5349]

I might take that a tad further and put that in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes after pulling out of the smoker. Very nice though! Gotta try it!

[@CaptCraig]

This is SO going down for the 4th this year. Thanks, Matt! Happy 4th of July, brother.

[@LarryDavis-g9p]

New to Meat Church, best instructional videos on the internet. I spend hours looking for your recipes. By the way, great clip on Jimmy Fallon

[@bmeclipse]

Now I know what my mac n cheese has been missing. Gruyère. Well, and smoked cream cheese. One thing I’ve done with leftover brisket is cut it into small chunks and pan fry it in brisket tallow to get it crunchy then toss it into fried rice. That’s what I’m gonna do with this recipe. Thanks, Matt!

[@yokesBL]

Correct...not many side dishes better than that. My dad and I had a bbq business for a few years and made a brisket mac and cheese. Cant wait to incorporate some of your recipe in and try it. Well done as always, gold top cheers to you.

[@SinisterMD]

My wife has made Mac and Cheese with smoked gouda and apple slices before and that little bit of smoke really added a different component to the dish. This is undoubtedly on another level. Added to my list of things to make. Looking forward to it Matt, thanks for the recipe.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Sounds great!

[@timkearns4728]

That looks amazing! We are opening our beach house this weekend, I do believe this will be on the Saturday afternoon menu.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Fantastic! I won't get back to mine until June. Missing it!

[@GilMichelini]

Matt, when I heard you say in one of your videos "Get your head out of the recipe.", I subscribed! Please keep the videos coming and ignore the trolls who can't boil water without a detailed recipe.

[@DavidDarke-ji3tc]

Great video Matt. I have done mac and cheese on the smoker many times. Have tried a couple of different recipes over the years. Yours sounds great. As an alternative to the panko I have used crushed up Cheez It's as a topping and it adds another layer of flavor and texture. Can't wait to see the carnitas recipe.

[@gregorykrum6007]

I cannot wait to try this! Love your videos...keep up the great work.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Gregory!

[@terryhamilton985]

Incredible! Love it. We do a similar m&c. I’ll have to add that cream cheese. Only thing is I only use the skillet for all, except the Al dante pasta. Great looking Mac n Cheese.

[@mel_steves_gardening]

Everytime I cook a brisket I vacuum seal a big chunk from the flat and the point for easy fast dinners and Mac and cheese is definitely one of my favorite meals to use brisket. I will have to incorporate the bread crumbs next time for sure!!! Keep up the good work, love how informative your videos are!!!!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Sounds great!

[@SausageKramp]

Love it! Can't wait to make this. Not sure if you've done this already, but I'd love a quick video tour of your outdoor kitchen and the layout of everything.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

We plan to soon!

[@jimstokes1076]

Love your videos every week that looks by far the easiest way for tasty Mac and cheese, some other channels make it way too complicated

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks for that feedback. We try to make things as approachable as possible.

[@Dadzilla2]

Looks great and thanks for sharing. I'll have to make and share with friends at my VFW.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

That is awesome!!!!

[@gigiscooking3437]

I love me some mac and cheese! And wow with that brisket! It's a definite must try.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Hope you enjoy

[@mitchcasey8576]

I always have brisket leftovers and never thought of vacuum sealing then sous-viding it. Wild. Thanks for teaching me this

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

we do it 100% of the time. Great way to reheat it. The best way actually. We even have a brisket reheating video.

[@jasonbean2764]

In 1977, at age 18, I visited a hippie commune called the Farm. They were vegetarian. It was my first experience with a meat free diet. It wasn't horrible. Still, I was glad to get back to an ordinary American diet.:)

[@dreamersridge729]

This is going to be my daughter birthday dinner. Thanks for all your content

[@mattwaf]

Ooo baby. I've been wanting this video for a long time. And I got a brisket going on the smoker before bed tonight.

[@jimmyowens1245]

I made this last night and it's a definite winner!! Thanks for another great detailed video, you're making me a better cook.

[@jtb9544]

I love these wrap ups! I really think it adds a ton to the video having after thoughts from days later. Great video!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you for that feedback!

[@sixmanfootball]

This is awesome! Looks fantastic and I've got a youngster at home who's been super excited about this week's video since I told him what it was gonna be. He loves mac and cheese and anything Meat Church so I can't wait to get this in front of him.

[@YooperRev88]

I make a similar Mac in the traeger but I mix The Gospel rub into the bread crumbs and it is a game changer!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love it!

[@markwindholz816]

Looks awesome, Matt. I make my Mac and cheese with the same exact ingredients. The only thing I do differently is I make a roux. With the half and half. Then, add the smoked cream cheese and smoke the mixture for 30 minutes or so. I don't use hot sauce, but I finely chop jalapeños and add to the mixture. The jalapeños are also presmoked. I also sprinkle your Meat Church Holy Voodo on top of the panko before I put it back into the smoker for final cook. Friends and family say it's off the charts.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love that Mark! Thanks for sharing.

[@armorofgod6644]

Sounds amazing gotta try that thanks for the idea!!

[@taildragger77DK]

Looks fantastic. I think I will try that and add some chopped Hatch green chilies.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I'd eat that.

[@stannitchell8957]

Just did this up Matt minus the smoked cheese (just used cheddar) turned out awesome. Thanks for the video

[@nicholascurrymaciel761]

More doggo! Looks like a great cook and has me drooling for the weekend.

[@bmxrider1382]

This is going to blow my family away this thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevemaynor2624]

Matt another awesome video. I will cook this for Sunday dinner

[@beaubarrett1399]

About to give this one a try.

[@SuperHitchcockfan]

We are making this for our New Year's Eve party this year. Thank you for the direction and inspiration!

[@XRFan101]

This is comfort food at its finest 👌😍

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I agree!

[@michaelparsons541]

Can’t wait to try this. I have done something somewhat similar as far as the creaminess, when doing smoked scalloped potatoes with bacon.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love that.

[@MadPick]

I'm still loving the wrap-ups at the end! Thanks for a great video and what looks to be a delicious recipe.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks for that feedback.

[@chrisolson8815]

Haha. Glad you said something during the video. I was going to give you a hard time about leaving all that "yield" behind in the pans. I started salivating when you pulled the cream cheese off and still am. I can't do basic M&C. Has to be notched up. This is several notches up. Dude, you have me hooked on using panko in new ways, too. I started getting all kinds of ideas after the egg video (although I couldn't talk the wife into letting me fry the whites for easter, LOL)

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love that!

[@brianmessing6591]

Great video! Here in Idaho we finally got a BBQ store. I was excited to see your gospel seasoning there, I bought 4.

[@Anvilarm07]

Thanks for making me drool on my shirt! Your video lengths are perfect at just under 20 minutes.

[@ramy5822]

literally laughed out loud at your taste reaction, thanks for making this video, looks amazing!!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anthonymagee5725]

I did the same thing lmao 🤣

[@matthewmiller7527]

Literally just made mac and cheese almost exactly like this earlier this week and I was thinking about adding brisket I had in a vac sealed bag and here we are haha looks great

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Sounds great!

[@codyseale]

Aaaaaaaa!!!! That looks like a little slice of HEAVEN!!!

[@Christine-yi1un]

This looks AMAZING. I have all of these ingredients and am smoking a brisket now. I’ll use the lean for this and make this tomorrow. Thank you for helping me gain ten pounds. PS disregard the negative comments. Your followers appreciate your recipes.

[@DDC-12]

I’m going to try this!!!

[@richardfagala1153]

Can’t wait to make this side dish. Looks delish.

[@ajmcmillan9826]

Holy Smoke N Cheese! Nice work my man!! Great job Matt!!

[@SanjivMore]

Looks fantastic... will have to give it a go......

[@debraglover5694]

Well we tried this over this past weekend, we really liked it the only thing is for us it was a little dry. Next time will have to make more moist, plus i think i put to much Gruyere. But we will be doing this again, and making the adjustments that we thought of. Thanks Matt 😊

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Cheers!

[@jeannetaylor2217]

This looks absolutely delicious, Chef!! 💕🙏🙏

[@fly1327]

Matt, great idea! I always have vacuum sealed/frozen leftover pulled pork on hand but haven't ever used it in mac & cheese, in fact I almost never make mac & cheese. Even though I'm doing Thanksgiving this Fall for a couple dozen friends and family, I'm thinking bringing an extra cooker (we're all RV camping) would be perfect for this. I always want to throw a twist into Thanksgiving, thanks!

[@swj2556]

That looks insanely good! BTW I made your Dr. Pepper Chicken...excellent! I tweaked the BBQ sauce a bit and my family was blown away! They suggested I bottle and sell it! Thanks for the base recipe! I don't think I will be buying anymore BBQ sauce except for maybe a bottle of that whomp sauce here and there.

[@primitivokitchen6247]

I just found out that we used you guys seasonings at a national level cook-off in México we ranked on pork 28/120 and on beef 50/120. Pd.Had the time of my life

[@ryanyould7955]

I’m not one to normally comment on peoples videos. This recipe changed the game. 10/10. 👍🏼

[@krackscountrycooking]

I’m definitely going to try this great job Matt

[@travmanmeyers]

Always appreciated. Thank you sir.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That's some seriously good looking macaroni and cheese. Sour cream and mustard is also good in macaroni and cheese. Cheers, Matt! 👍👍✌️

[@kiltlifter3988]

Thank you Matt,! I like to add 10% yellow American cheese from the deli, it helps to emulsify all the cheeses.

[@papascruffy]

I can't believe it took me this long to see this, I'm a mac and cheese nut and fixin to smoke a brisket, perfect!

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Damn, Now I'm going to try this tomorrow. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Our pleasure!

[@yalefogarty2498]

This looks fantastic. We don’t cook Briskets that often but I can see this with pulled pork. This will be in our future, my wife will need a cheat day from her weight watchers, there isn’t enough “points” in the world to cover this! 😳😂🤣😂 Keep the after spot, it always adds good info to the video’s!

[@kryptcalhoun6165]

Makin this one for Mother’s Day, can’t wait to try it. I’m choosing to use smoked pulled pork instead of brisket, mom prefers pulled pork.

[@martinsmith5340]

Looks amazing! Can't wait to make this for the family...thanks for sharing!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Enjoy!!

[@MattX28025]

O M G. This is my new Mac n cheese recipe. You never fail to amaze!

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Man that looks incredible, only thing I’d add and it’s my preference is jalapeños that’s it

[@michaellebu4312]

Awesome video Pastor 💯 Totally love the after video commentary. ❤

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Michael!

[@shopgirl2959]

Can’t wait to make this!! Thanks for sharing, Matt!
