Smoked Mac and cheese sauce prep

[jghorton]

I’m going to make smoked macaroni and cheese on Saturday, but with all the other dishes and moving parts I have going on, I’m wondering if I can prep the cheese sauce the day before? So, can I make up my sauce, store it on Friday, reheat it on Saturday and add the pasta before going on the smoker? Thanks y’all!

I love and always use Clint Cantwell's recipe, it's great. I would think you could make the whole dish the night before and re-heat on the grill or smoker with indirect heat...but I'll be the first to say I don't always know what I'm talking about!

you can def do that but you for sure want to use a sauce recipe with either american cheese or added sodium citrate so the sauce wont break.
