Who doesn’t love a good mac & cheese? It’s always one of my goto sides at any family gathering and easy to make on a Bull Grill. Now you might think why cook mac and cheese on a grill? I actually cook it on my Bull Grill for a lot of reasons. During the summer months, it helps keep my house cool by cooking outside in my Bull Outdoor Kitchen. Next using the Reliabull heat technology and the indirect cooking method the grilled mac and cheese cooks evenly every time. Grilling it on my Bull Grill also lets me add smokiness by using the optional Large Easy Fill Smoker Box.
