BBQ Beef Mac and Cheese #SundaySupper #CertifiedAngusBeef

BBQ Beef Mac and CheeseMac and Cheese is made for a cowboy but is certain to win the love of your family!

I am not going to lie… I have never cooked for a cowboy. But I can tell you I have cooked for hundreds of football players. Let’s be honest how much different could it be too cook for a cowboy than a football player? They both love hearty, delicious and stick to your ribs kind of recipes! I tested this BBQ Beef Mac and Cheese on my boys and some football players hanging around our house at dinner time this week and they reassured me it was worthy enough to cook for a cowboy!

I am thrilled to be in Kansas this week for an over the top experience. I have the honor of joining Certified Angus Beef ® brand  for a unique opportunity to get an insider’s view of the beef community. I love learning how the world’s best brand of beef, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand, goes from farm gate to dinner plate.

Not only will I be learning on this exclusive ranch tour, but you can follow along on my instagram and twitter by following #RootsInBoots. This experience will introduce you to several different segments of the beef community. A variety of experts will discuss ranching, cattle care, land stewardship, beef quality, and cooking with beef.

I love that we will have the opportunity to meet ranch families, ask questions and learn how beef is raised. Our ranch hostess, Debbie Lyons-Blythe of Blythe Family Farms, is excited to show us around her ranch and highlight a typical day… if there is such a thing!

And of course, I can’t wait to cook with a real cowboy! We will be learning from the best, Cowboy Kent Rollins and his wife Shannon will be whipping up a Chuckwagon Dinner in the Pasture and teaching us how to make the most delicious cowboy biscuits! To say I am excited is an understatement!

This is one trip I am certain I will never forget! I have a feeling I will know exactly what to cook for a cowboy once it is over!

Cowboy Cooking your entire family will love

Back to the BBQ Beef Mac and Cheese recipe… have you ever tried homemade mac and cheese combined with BBQ sauce? I was so surprised the first time I tried it. It is an amazing combination of flavors that could only be made better by adding Certified Angus Beef ® brand ground beef to it. Trust me on this one… you need to try this!

A marriage of wonderful flavors come together in this dish. Macaroni and Cheese and Beef, need we say more?
Ingredients
  • For the Beef:
  • 1 pound of Certified Angus Beef ® brand ground beef
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon or one close fresh ground garlic
  • 1 cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce
  • For the Mac and Cheese:
  • 2 cups small macaroni any shape you like (I used Corkscrew and Rotini)
  • 3 tablespoons Salted Butter
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • Pinch ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups Sharp Cheddar, I used both white and yellow cheddar because I like the colors together
Instructions
  1. Cook Macaroni as directed on package.
  2. Meanwhile, brown Certified Angus Beef ® brand ground beef with onions and garlic in large skillet. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes until the beef is cooked through and drain.
  3. Add BBQ Sauce and stir until well blended. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the beef is caramelized. There should be very little liquid left.
  4. In the meantime, cook and drain macaroni according to package directions.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Melt butter in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat . Sprinkle flour into butter and whisk constantly until you have thick, smooth paste, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
  8. Gradually whisk in milk and continue stirring until sauce thickens and returns to simmer.
  9. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups of cheese and stir until melted.
  10. Add macaroni, stirring until well coated.
  11. Pour the BBQ Beef mixture over the Macaroni and Cheese.
  12. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over top.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden on top and bubbling throughout.
