Salmon Mac N Cheese. The salmon makes such a great addition to mac n cheese. I made a smaller batch (about half - kind of eyeballed quantities) and only used frozen peas as I had no other suitable veggies on hand. In a bowl, mix together macaroni, basil, smoked salmon, and bread crumbs. This warm and comforting update on an American classic has the added bonus of arugula nestled in among the morsels of salmon, pasta and cheese. When the air starts to turn chilly, we seek out comfort foods - and nothing says "comfort" quite like Mac & Cheese.

My version includes a little more 'good for you food' with the salmon addition - all baked in a Camp Chef cast iron skillet. A rich and creamy mac and cheese the people of all ages will love! Includes three kinds of cheese - cheddar, mozzarella and cream cheese. You can cook Salmon Mac N Cheese using 15 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
