- Cook pasta: Boil pasta in salted water for 10 minutes, drain, and set aside.
- Make cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt 6 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir for 3 minutes. Whisk in milk gradually and cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp Weber® Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning and 2 cups of the cheese mixture.
- Assemble mac and cheese: Mix cooked pasta, brisket, and cheese sauce in a bowl. Pour into the skillet.
- Add topping: In a bowl, combine remaining cheese, bread crumbs, and 1 tbsp Weber® Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning. Sprinkle over the mac and cheese.
- Grill and finish: Place the skillet on the grill and cook for 20–30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Drizzle with Weber® Sweet & Thick Original BBQ Sauce before serving.
