Mac'n cheese on the BBQ

Mac'n cheese sur le BBQ - BBQ Québec

Still motivated to try all my favorite recipes on the grill, today I present to you my Mac'n Cheese on the BBQ.

To give you some context, I recently bought my first P500 so I cook everything I can on it: my terrace allows me to do so so I take advantage of it! My boyfriend challenged me to try my recipe for macaroni and cheese au gratin on the BBQ one weeknight. I love challenges!

It was a success and I made several people jealous, now it's your turn to make your guests' mouths water!

Here is the secret recipe:

Ingredients:

  • A 375g box of macaroni
  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 can of evaporated milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 cups of grated strong cheddar cheese
  • 2 t. of Brick
  • 3/4 cup Velveeta
  • 2 tsp Sweet Kansas
  • Optional: Ketchot BBQ Quebec sauce to taste for people who would like to make their mac n' cheese spicy

Preparation:

  1. Preheat your BBQ to 350°F
  2. If your BBQ has a burner, you can place your pan of water on it, otherwise place it directly on the grills of your BBQ. Boil the entire box of macaroni and set aside.*
  3. In another saucepan, melt your margarine with the flour, stirring constantly.
  4. Add dry mustard, onion powder, garlic powder and Sweet Kansas spices. Mix well.
  5. Add the can of evaporated milk and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a boil.
  6. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of sharp cheese, velveeta cheese and Brick cheese.
  7. Butter a BBQ safe dish, add the macaroni and cheese sauce (make sure to spread the sauce over all the macaroni)
  8. Add the 2 cups of sharp cheese on top before placing the dish on the grill until the cheese forms a small golden crust.

*Tip: avoid overcooking your macaroni: they will go back on the BBQ afterwards.

This recipe will be a sure hit with your guests!
