Gluten Free Creamy Mac ‘n Cheese
Tonight I was in the mood for some comfort food so I made mac ‘n cheese. It has been a long time since I made it! I love homemade mac ‘n cheese, so I thought I would share my recipe.
Gluten Free Creamy Mac ‘n Cheese
4 tbs butter
¼ brown rice flour
2 cups milk
½ lb Beecher’s Flagship cheese, grated
½ lb extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 lb gluten free pasta – I used Trader Joe’s brown rice penne pasta
I suggest measuring the milk and grating the cheese before you start cooking, as the rue requires constant supervision.
In a sauce pan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the brown rice flour to the butter while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the butter/flour starts to bubble slightly and darken. Remove from heat and slowly add milk while continuing to stir. Once combined, return to the stove and stir constantly until the milk is hot and thickens. Add all of the Beecher’s cheese to the sauce pan with the milk and stir until it has melted.
Cook pasta as instructed on package. Once drained, coat the pasta with the sauce evenly. Put half of the pasta in the casserole dish and distribute half of the extra sharp cheddar on top. Repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese so the top is covered with cheese. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-60 minutes until heated through.
