Creamy gluten-free mac and cheese with crispy crumbs - a perfect weeknight family meal.
Ingredients:
  • 10 ounces gluten-free elbow pasta
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 1.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 4 cups milk
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 gluten-free bread slices, toasted and broken into crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni for 8 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter until golden and bubbling. Stir in salt and mustard powder, then remove from heat and let the flavors meld together.
  • In a bowl, combine milk and cornstarch, whisking until smooth. Pour the mixture into the butter mixture, stirring until well combined. Return saucepan to medium heat, cooking the mixture while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine 3 cups of Cheddar cheese into the sauce, letting the heat melt the cheese. Mix in pasta until well coated with the cheese sauce, then transfer to a baking dish.
  • Mix the 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, gluten-free bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon of butter, and paprika together in a bowl, then sprinkle it over the pasta mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is crispy.
