Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free elbow macaroni
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the gluten-free flour and whisk continuously for about 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and bubbly.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously. Cook until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add the shredded cheddar, gruyère, and parmesan cheeses, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the mac and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free mac n cheese!
