🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

• Prepare your wood chips and placed on the grill. In a disposable aluminum pan place all ingredients along with only ½ cup of milk. Place on a preheated grill on 200-220 and close the lid.
• Stir every 20 minutes so the cheese won't burn. Keep it on the grill for few hours for more smoky flavor.

💡 Tips

• For more smoky flavor cook for several hours on low.
• For our taste a ½ cup of milk was enough but it is more on the thicker side, so adjust to your own preference.
