This is for one 28oz box of macaroni adjust if your doing more
Cook 1 lb of bacon let cool and crumble
Boil pasta per package. Drain and set aside. If I'm cooking it for us at home I do the following in cast iron pan and put it in the smoker. If I'm doing it for someone else I cook in a pan and transfer to aluminum pan to take. Heat skillet over medium heat. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in skillet. Add 1/4 cup of all purpose flour. Stir and cook for about 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. 1/4 teaspoon of bbq rub. Stir. Next add 2 cups of Velveeta cheese cut into small chunks and stir. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese. When cheese sauce is combined pour half of it into a bowl. Add pasta to skillet and start to stir with sauce. Keep adding sauce from bowl back to skillet until all is combined. You may need to add a touch more milk. Lightly dust top of macaroni with a little more rub. Cover top with crumbled bacon. Place in the smoker until top is brown. Normally takes about 40 minutes depending on temp of pit. This is the way I do it if I'm serving it with bbq or chicken. If it's for a main dish I add pulled pork to it.
