The Casey's Brisket Mac & Cheese is being added to the restaurant brand's menu as the perfect option for patrons to try out on their next visit. The side dish is characterized by its rich, indulgent profile that starts off with the brand's signature macaroni and cheese, which consists of elbow macaroni mixed with a creamy cheese sauce with shredded cheddar to boot. The dish is then topped with a serving of pit-smoked brisket that has been chopped up to the perfect consistency before being paired with a tangy barbecue sauce.
The Casey's Brisket Mac & Cheese is priced at $3.99 and is expected to be right home within the brand's existing side options, but will only be around for a limited time.
