Create a delicious gluten-free macaroni dish with two cheeses, frozen spinach, and cauliflower in a slow cooker for a comforting meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans 2% evaporated milk
  • 2 cups unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 8 ounces gluten-free elbow macaroni
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen cauliflower
Instructions:
  • Prepare your 6-quart slow cooker by greasing or lining the insert. Mix together evaporated milk, stock, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the slow cooker. Next, stir in processed cheese and butter, followed by adding macaroni and mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on High, stirring every hour, until the cheese is melted and the macaroni is cooked, for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Place the frozen spinach into a microwave-safe bowl and mix in 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway. Drain and press out any excess moisture from the spinach. Fold the spinach into the macaroni and cheese in the slow cooker and mix well.
  • Place the frozen cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and pour in 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the bowl and heat in the microwave until the cauliflower is fully heated, stirring halfway through, for about 5 to 7 minutes. If needed, chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces. Add the cauliflower to the slow cooker with macaroni and cheese, then mix well.
  • Enjoy straight away or portion into freezer-safe containers for convenient single servings.
