Ingredients
-
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
-
1 (12 ounce) package elbow macaroni
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
1 (16 ounce) package shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
-
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Colby-Jack cheese
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1 cup mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons barbeque rub
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a pizza pan with aluminum foil; lay bacon strips on top.
-
Bake bacon in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
-
Drain bacon slices on paper towels and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Place in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until crumbly.
-
Preheat a smoker to 275 to 300 degrees F (135 to 150 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.
-
Mix together cream, Cheddar cheese, Colby-Jack cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, butter, and barbeque rub in the warm pasta pot; add drained macaroni. Mix well and let the cheese melt. Pour into a 9x13-inch aluminum pan and sprinkle bacon on top.
-
Place the pan on the rack in the preheated smoker. Cook until cheese is bubbly, about 3 1/2 hours.
