Day 79: I love this recipe because it’s simple to put together, I usually have all the ingredients on hand, and it can be used just as a typical mac n cheese sauce. You can also up the sophistication level a notch by using it for gluten free baked macaroni and cheese. It’s very versatile so you can change out the cheeses, spices, make it thick or more like a thin Kraft mac n cheese sauce, or even sneak in some veggies (puree some cooked carrots and throw them in, no one will ever know).

Do you need to be dairy free? If so I emphatically urge you to try this recipe: http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=40&catId=10 I made it all the time when we were dairy free and it was really really good. Despite the lack of cheese it really does taste cheesy!

Gluten Free Macaroni And Cheese Recipe

• 8 oz cooked GF pasta shells, elbows, or spirals
• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup white rice flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1½ teaspoon ground mustard
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 2-3 cups milk (whole milk works best)
• 2-3 cups desired cheeses, shredded. I prefer a blend of cheddars.
• ½ cup crushed cereal such as GF Rice Krispies, Corn Chex, or GF corn flakes (for baked mac n cheese version)
• 3 tablespoon butter melted (for baked mac n cheese version)

Easy Gluten Free Mac And Cheese Recipe Baked

1. If you're going to make this into baked mac n cheese (not pictured above), preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In 2 quart sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in rice flour, salt, ground mustard, and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
3. Whisk in the milk making sure there are no lumps. 2 cups of milk will make a very thick sauce and 3 cups of milk will make a fairly thin sauce. I used 2 cups in the picture above.
4. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and boils. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in cheeses until thoroughly melted.
6. Combine with macaroni. At this point you're ready to serve & eat if you'd like!
7. If baking: Pour into 8 x 8' square baking dish. Combine crushed cereal and melted butter in small bowl and sprinkle over macaroni. At this point I also sprinkle a little paprika over the top but that's totally optional.
8. Bake 20-30 minutes until bubbling and topping is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
