Alright, let's tackle this backyard BBQ feast! First, give yourself 6-8 hours to smoke that brisket after prepping it with our spice rub. While it smokes, get the collards simmering for 1-1.5 hours. Remember to rest the brisket for an hour after smoking! The mac and cheese comes together quickly once the macaroni is cooked. Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds, and the results are SO worth it! Enjoy!
