Gluten Free Baked Mac And Cheese

Are you a fan of crispy Mac and Cheese?

Our gluten-free Mac and Cheese cups are cheesy, crispy and delicious all at the same time.

Spray a 9 by 12-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the block of Velveeta cheese in the middle of the baking dish. Add the macaroni around the cheese. Distribute the can of tomatoes and chilies over the top. Sprinkle with the Mexican blend cheese, pour the cream all over, sprinkle with salt and bake 25 minutes. Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free Baked Mac & Cheese This is all you need for baked gluten-free, lactose-free mac and cheese: Since my husband and I went gluten free four years ago, we were in search of pasta that wasn’t mushy, gross and actually tasted like pasta.

Ingredients

Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
Salt
2 cups gluten-free elbow pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons white rice flour
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces (2 cups) grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons melted unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Grease 12 standard muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain well.

While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add rice flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until lightly brown, about 1 minute. Slowly add milk in a slow and steady stream. Bring to a boil. Cook until thick, about two minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese, one handful at a time, stirring gently. Allow cheese to melt between each addition. Remove from heat. Add drained pasta. Stir to combine. Add egg. Stir until combined.

Spoon mac and cheese into prepared muffin cups. In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and melted butter. Divide evenly over each muffin cup.

Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Store leftovers wrapped in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat, covered, on low power in the microwave or place the mac and cheese cups in a small baking pan. Add one tablespoon water to the pan. Cover the pan tightly with foil. Heat in a preheated 350° F oven until warm, about 15 minutes.

Gluten Free Mac Cheese Recipe

Start by cooking your gluten-free pasta according to the time and instructions on the box.
While it’s cooking, in a separate saucepan, start your cheese sauce by heating your almond milk and adding in your shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. I used about 1 cup of milk, 2/3 cup of regular aged cheddar cheese, 2/3 cup of shredded parm, and 1/3 cup of white aged cheddar cheese. Stir consistently until it reaches a creamy, sauce-like consistency and the cheese is melted through. You’re going to want the sauce to be on the thicker side so that it can help to hold the pasta together.
Combine and toss your cooked and drained pasta with the cheese sauce and transfer the mixture to a parchment lined baking dish - mine was 8x8. Spread the Mac and cheese mixture evenly in the pan and place in the freezer until solid.
Once firm, preheat your oven to 400 and take the pasta out of the pan and cut it into squares with a warm knife.
Then, set up your “breading” station by filling one bowl with almond flour, salt, pepper, and paprika and a second one with beaten eggs.
Dredge the squares in egg and then coat thoroughly with the almond flour, placing them onto a parchment lined baking pan.
Bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes depending on your oven and then broil for a few extra minutes.
