About this Recipe
Whether you're tailgating at Arrowhead or watching from home, you'll enjoy this deluxe mac & cheese. As a native of KC transplanted in Seattle, I know which local flavors score and it just felt lucky to combine them to ensure a win in the Big Game. Enter Tailgater's Mac & Cheese! Burger's Ham studs the crunchy potato chip topping and Beecher's Cheeses are loaded in the sauce and on top. This dish is a flavor powerhouse seasoned with our own KC Tailgater's BBQ Rub. How can we lose? Go Chiefs!
Instructions
1
For the Potato Chip Crust:
2
In a medium bowl, add the Beecher's Smoked cheese, broken kettle chips, cubed Burgers ham and 1 tablespoon KC Tailgater's BBQ Rub. Toss to combine and set aside.
3
For the Mac & Cheese:
4
Heat oven to 350°F. Butter or oil an 2 quart casserole dish.
5
Cook the macaroni 2 minutes less than package directions. Rinse in cold water and set aside.
6
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Continue whisking and cooking for about 1 minute to fully incorporate. Slowly add the half and half, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce thickens, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
7
Add the Flagship cheese, Just Jack cheese, cream cheese, 1 teaspoon KC Tailgater’s, and garlic salt. Stir until the cheese is melted and all ingredients are incorporated, about 2 minutes.
8
Combine cooked pasta and sauce in a medium bowl, and mix gently but thoroughly. Pour pasta mixture into the prepared casserole dish, and smooth out evenly.
9
Evenly sprinkle potato chip crust on top of macaroni.
10
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until piping hot. Let mac & cheese sit for 3 minutes before serving.
