Smokehouse Macaroni and Cheese

Deliciously creamy comfort food with a twist, this is the best Macaroni and Cheese I've ever tasted, and my family demands it frequently! Recipe can be halved, and should be, if you value your arteries! :) For a very easy way to incorporate some vegetables, steam some broccoli over your pasta-cooking water, and stir it into the casserole or serve alongside - but it's more likely to get eaten if it's already IN the casserole!
