Recipe Tips

You can use any variation of macaroni noodle you prefer to make this dish. I use more than just elbow macaroni - I love radiatore, fusilli, conchiglie, orecchiette, cavatappi… you get the idea! Any shell-shaped pasta or macaroni-like noodle will work well for homemade macaroni and cheese. Make sure to stir constantly when cooking the milk and whisking in the cheese. You do not want the dairy to curdle.Any brisket you make to later use with this recipe will go best with my Brisket Rub. Trust me, it is the best seasoning for brisket!

What to Serve with Brisket Mac and Cheese

I personally find a side of coleslaw and cornbread even more delicious with brisket mac and cheese than regular mac and cheese. These dishes make a perfect pairing for the smoky brisket and creamy pasta. Grilled or roasted vegetables make a great side dish, too. Try a nice side of charred broccoli or asparagus with brisket macaroni and cheese, and you will be so glad you did!
