Mac N Cheese throwdown

SmokeHound · Posted: Tue Nov 15 11 2:25 am Post subject: Mac N Cheese throwdown

Okay, I opened my big mouth about a Mac N Cheese Throwdown on Remmy's cheese post. Looks like there's plenty of interest so I've posted the details below:

EDIT: Adding details

General Throwdown rules are located here >> General TD Rooolz (if you're not familiar w/ these, please read 'em)

Details specific to this throwdown are as follows:

- One entry per person
- Entries must have at least 1 component to the Mac N Cheese that was prepared on the smoker. Overall cooking method is up to you (bake, broil, nuker, smoker, etc)
- When posting your entries, please include: Full list of ingredients and a picture, process pictures for each key step, and pics of your finished product (Since this is all about the M&C, include ONLY your mac and cheese dish in your pictures)
- Game face is beneficial so get creative!!
- Good-natured, lively smack talk is encouraged! (no mean or inappropriate smack talk please)

- The timing is as follows:
* Sign ups: Now - November 30 (no new joiners after that!)
* Post entries (including ingredients, process steps and pics): December 1-4 (deadline for posting your entry is Dec 04, 2011 Midnight) (there will be a separate thread for this)
* Voting (done by poll): December 5-6 (Monday and Tuesday) (there will be a separate thread for this)

I think I captured the important stuff but if I missed something, lemme know. . . .

This is gonna be FUN!!!

If you have a turn-in time that encompasses Thanksgiving, you may get more people doing it since so many people have company over for Thanksgiving....

I would like to do it this weekend when family comes out, but I have already done it with them and none of the kids ate it. I will have to do it for a different group of people, like my co-workers!

What do y'all think about doing this the weekend after Thanksgiving?? (I have the time to do this now but many folks may not).

So the final picture/post "dead line" would be Sunday, December 4th. . . .

Thoughts??

Sounds good to me, SmokeHound! I'm in! I was planning on doing Mac n Cheese for T-day anyway. I can't wait to try out my first smoked cheese (it's in the fridge, aging/mellowing)

Beans are much simpler Bugs....make yourself one of these with much smaller holes, say maybe 3/16"...it will allow the maximum smoke to each legume!

I do believe ya'll can count me in, probably Embarassed

SmokeHound-just one quick question. After the U.S. bans all incandescent light bulbs, how are you going to cook. Shocked

Now for a serious question-are we cooking standard macaroni and cheese recipe(s), or does mac-n-cheese just have to be a feature of the dish?

And either way...Y'all better grab some butter...cuz Y'alls are toast Cool
