Smoked cheddar cheese are available in supermarkets within the niche cheese section, avoid the shredded, common cheeses. I recieve mine from Walmart. Don't over bake! Mac and cheese can be a tad jiggly when taken off oven but it'll set because it cools. You can utilize other cheeses, however that smoked cheddar is essential!
