This recipe is based on my grandfather’s Mac ‘n Cheese recipe — passed down to my mom — passed down to me — and someday to be passed down to Munchkin. When we went gluten free, I knew that I needed to find a way to recreate this dish as it’s been a family favorite for many generations.

Gluten Free Creamy Baked Mac ‘n Cheese

Ingredients:

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350°. Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour and spices. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.

Cook and drain the pasta according to package instructions. Combine the milk and eggs. Put half the pasta in the dish. Drizzle half the butter over the pasta, then half the milk mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Put half the shredded cheese on top. Wd5000h1u 00 drivers. The best Gluten-Free Baked Macaroni N Cheese is the perfect creamy and cheesy pasta dish that’s a family favorite and kid-friendly recipe. The recipe uses a combination of cheeses to create a deliciously creamy cheese sauce and layers of cheese make for a rich and delicious dish.

  • 2 C gluten free macaroni (I use Tinkyada or Jovial)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 C grated cheddar cheese (I use raw cheddar cheese and up this amount when I want a creamier, richer version)
  • 2 T potato flour (or tapioca starch)
  • 2 C cream (or milk)
  • 2 T butter
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

  1. Melt butter; blend in flour & salt
  2. Add cream and cook. Stir constantly until thick.
  3. Add cheese and stir until thick and melted.
  4. Cook gf macaroni as directed on pkg
  5. Combine cooked macaroni and cheese sauce in buttered casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Notes:

If planning on freezing, slightly under cook the pasta

If freezing for later, do not bake until you are ready to serve.

I usually make a triple or quadruple batch, so I can freeze a couple for later.

Sometimes I will add 1/2 Cup of shredded Parmesan in the cheese mixture. It adds an extra layer of flavor.

For the pictured mac ‘n cheese, I added my Italian seasoning blend into the Parmesan cheese and sprinkled it on top of the mac ‘n cheese before baking. Generic low latency asio driver cubase s.

Shred the 8oz of cheese and set aside. Separately, shred the 2 oz of cheese for the topping as well.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Microwave and stir in 20 second intervals until the cheese has melted and the sauce thickens. The frequent stirring is necessary to avoid a scrambled-egg effect. Combine the pasta, sauce and 8 oz shredded cheese. Mix Well.
Place in an oven safe casserole dish. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes longer until the top begins to brown. Serve Hot.
Realize I made this because I love mac n cheese, but not enough to actually shred my own cheese - I am lazy busy and that's why Hy-Vee carries shredded cheese in convenient 8oz bags. I used shredded cheese and had no problems (not that I expected any). Next time I might try to add some cayenne pepper or something to spice it up, but it was still good!! Give it a shot.
