Smokehouse Bacon Mac ‘N Cheese Cornbread Skillet

Get ready for some amazing s'mac and cheese or smokehouse bacon mac and cheese cornbread skillet.

Since my Caitlin is a huge macaroni 'n cheese fan I decided to feature this recipe today. Further, It brings back memories of a New York city trip we took to track down the restaurant, S'MAC. Served with a side salad this smokehouse bacon mac and cheese can be a meal or in a smaller portion an unexpected side dish. I recommend a high quality smoked cheese.

    Lisa, What a great recipe. I still am reading faithfully, but I have been laying a little low lately. I'm going to make this for a BBQ next weekend. My daughter is a mac n' cheese fanatic! ❤️

      I have been laying low, too. I skipped Memorial Day and Father's Day stories because it is just too hard to keep reminding myself. Trying very hard to move in a different direction. It's never going to change, so I will try and just keep cooking and baking and remembering in my heart. <3 Can you imagine this is our life? Never in a million. I hope you like the recipe.Your daughter, like mine, is the joy.
