This smoked mac and cheese is so gouda it will knock your socks off! Seriously, if you love gouda or mac and cheese, you’ll love this smoked gouda mac.

A Brazilian restaurant near me has the most delicious smoked gouda mac and cheese. It’s creamy, and tangy, and has just the right smokey flavor that makes you want to shovel it in mouthfuls. The only downside to this is that it’s $4 per serving, and I’ve burned my tongue on more than one occasion. Up until recently I’ve been content to have this delicious concoction seldom. However, when we put an offer in a new home in Nashville, I knew I had to figure out how to recreate this masterpiece.
