Directions
- Preheat smoker to 275-300 degrees.
- Dice the onions and peppers and sauté in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat until translucent.
- Add garlic, both tomatoes and kidney beans, and beef stock. Bring to a simmer.
- Season the ground beef with Notorious P.I.G. and mix well with your hands.
- Form the meat into a round meatloaf and place on a rack lined sheet tray.
- Once the Chili mix reaches a simmer, place on the grill. Place the rack holding the meatloaf directly over the Dutch oven so that the drippings will fall into the chili as it cooks.
- Cook for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 145 degrees. (stir chili occasionally to avoid burning)
- Remove the meatloaf and crumble the beef. Then add it back to the chili and stir to combine.
- Season and adjust consistency with more beef stock if needed. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- While the chili is smoking, make the mac N cheese.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 3 minutes.
- Slowly add in the cream while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken.
- Lower heat to low and slowly stir in the cheeses. Stir until well combined and then season with Multi-tool.
- Once the chili and mac n cheese are done, mix them together to make the most delicious mac n cheese you’ll ever have.
- Enjoy!
