Smokey Beer Macaroni and Cheese

This Smokey Beer Macaroni and Cheese is full of melty deliciousness and lots of flavor! In addition to combining beer and cheese, it also has a breadcrumb topping for that extra crunch!

This is such a fun way to put a spin on the classic macaroni and cheese! It takes a childhood favorite and makes it perfect for adults! If you’re a fan of beer cheese like I am, this will be right up your alley. The beer flavor is clearly there, but definitely doesn’t overpower the dish. It’s gooey, cheesy and just a little bit crunchy. And with a combination of flavors like paprika, garlic and Worcestershire, what’s not to love?

A side dish like this is perfect for pretty much an occasion. It’s unique and special enough for a holiday, but easy enough to make on a weeknight or bring to a potluck. And as with any mac and cheese, it’s completely addicting.
