Beefy Bacon Mac and Cheese is a recipe you can easily make your own.

It’s a great way to use leftover beef roast or steak. I used leftover smoked brisket. So good! If you don’t have access to smoked beef, you can still get a smoky taste by substituting smoked salt for plain salt.

Don’t forget the bacon adds a bit of smoky flavor too! You can also swap the cheddar for smoked cheddar or smoked Gouda.

The combinations are endless!

Go on try a bite!
