This casserole is perfect for Christmas morning — or anytime you’re serving lots of guests — and can easily be prepared a day or two ahead of time. Smoke it on the grill to add an extra level of flavor, or bake in the oven.

Elevate classic mac & cheese with smoked gouda and our delicious bacon ends! You can also use a low-carb pasta in this dish to make it keto-friendly!.

It's easy. The key is not burning it. Unless you're into that, of course.
