  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mild yellow cheddar
  • 8 ounces cubed velveeta cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded mild yellow cheddar for topping

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to broil setting if planning to "bake"

  • Step 2

    Boil noodles in salted water according to package instructions, to desired texture. Drain and set aside until ready to use.

  • Step 3

    In a large pot, melt butter.

  • Step 4

    Whisk in gluten free flour, and cook on medium-low for about 2 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly to create roux.

  • Step 6

    Once roux is prepared... mix in spices/seasonings. Mix in dijon mustard.

  • Step 7

    Bring to a gentle boil, and reduce heat to low.

  • Step 8

    Save about a handful of each shredded cheese to mix in after sauce is melted. *** (not the cheese already set aside for topping)

  • Step 9

    Mix in both cheddars, and velveeta.

  • Step 10

    Fold in cooked noodles, and then the handful of cheese you saved. (this makes a very gooey cheesy texture!)

  • Step 11

    At this point... you could be done! :) If you want a "baked Mac and cheese" keep going...

  • Step 12

    In a non-stick skillet, on medium.. add breadcrumbs, half teaspoon of salt, and parsley. Toss frequently, until browned. Remove from heat as soon as browning occurs.

  • Step 13

    Transfer macaroni to a buttered casserole dish.

  • Step 14

    Top with breadcrumbs, and the remaining shredded cheeses.

  • Step 15

    Broil for 2-5 minutes (oven times vary, check frequently to avoid burning)
