The Fox Bros. share their secret for the creamy goodness of their macaroni and cheese:

Thanks for having this column in the AJC Food section! You have found some recipes that I have requested as well as published some really good ones from places I haven't even been yet. Last fall, I attended a wedding reception that was catered by Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. It was a knockout! I thought I died and went to heaven when I tasted the mac and cheese. If I could make something that was close to that to go with my brisket, I would be an extremely happy camper. Do you have or can you get this recipe? I know that some places won't share, and I can understand that to some point. Just wondering … thanks for what you do! — Karen Walsh, Lawrenceville

The brothers of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q are very generous with their recipes. Their mac and cheese is definitely a crowd-pleaser, made with three kinds of cheese and a rich, creamy sauce. It’s a very saucy mac and cheese, so be sure your baking dish is up to the challenge. We found it filled a 9-by-13-inch baking dish pretty much to the rim. If you have concerns about filling your dish quite that full, use a roasting pan instead or divide it between two dishes.
