1. Add pasta to cheese sauce and stir well; pour into the prepared baking dish. Combine remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese, gluten-free bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon butter, and paprika in a bowl; sprinkle over pasta mixture. Bake in the preheated oven until top is crunchy, about 30 minutes.
2. Boil GF noodles for only 6 minutes and drain. Grease your slow cooker, I used a 3 qt size. Fill the crock pot with the following layers: 1/2 the noodles, 1/2 the cheeses and butter, 1/2 the noodles, 1/2 the cheeses and butter, salt and pepper, then pour the milk and evaporated milk over the top. Cook on low for 3 hours.

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the cornstarch and rice flour. Combine the mixture with a wooden spoon and cook for 2 minutes on a low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Don't wander away! Gluten free roux is pretty easy to burn. With so few ingredients in such a short time, this is not the step you work on while you multi-task especially if you're trying it for the first time. Flour can burn as can butter if it cooks on a too-high temp. So, while your cooking roux make sure it's just the roux and you.
• Try other flours. Our gluten free roux uses rice flour to create the thickening sauce. This isn't the only gluten-free flour. If you're looking for a different taste, consider using almond flour or even corn flour.
• Sticking to a paleo diet? Substitute another flour for the rice flour. Some great grain-free flour alternatives are cassava flour and plantain flour. You can also substitute the butter for lard, bacon grease, tallow ghee, or coconut oil.

Gluten Free Baked Mac And Cheese

Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese made in one pot in less than 30 minutes. Gooey and creamy macaroni and cheese with prosciutto tossed in makes the best dinner ever.

(Gluten-Free, Dairy-free friendly)

I survived on gluten free macaroni and cheese while in Ireland. It somehow became our go-to meal and also turned into the dinner we made after a long day hiking in the mountains.

We had made a conscious decision to stay in places with full kitchens while on holiday. That way, we didn’t have to deal with eating out all the time and worry about what to eat for every meal.

It was seriously the best decision ever and we’ll travel this way from now on. As we moved from location to location, at the end of each stay we had to clear out the fridge and use all our leftovers.

This Prosciutto Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese was the product of what was left in our fridge the first time. // Seriously. Get in my belly.

It was so good, sparing no calories (I did just climb two mountain peaks that day) with all that butter, cheese and delicate salty prosciutto.

Sprinkled with some crushed fresh black pepper before serving, it was THE PERFECT dish to warm me up.

Freezing Scotland, you are freezing! // This says a lot from a girl living in the Midwest.

It also fueled me with badly needed calories (since I had not eaten the entire day). // Extreme poor planning and didn’t make that mistake again.

Last time I was in Ireland, I survived on prosciutto. Specifically, these prosciutto-wrapped-in-melon bites.

Something about Ireland and craving prosciutto while I’m there every time?? If we end up moving there down the road, be prepared.

Best Tips for this Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese

• Don’t forget to thoroughly rinse pasta after cooking to keep it from over-cooking AND to remove the excess starch. That’s the best way to prepare gluten-free pasta.
• For those needing vegetarian (because really I do understand), simply omit the prosciutto from this recipe, it’ll still be amazing.

I struggle with eating meat at times (mainly chicken breasts), but I don’t have any problem eating things like deli meat, prosciutto, salami, sausage, etc. I love it all. // So odd I know.

During an extended vacation away from home, 99.9% of the time I get “glutened” at some point. Then I need to come home, slash dairy out of my diet, and recover.

Guys, I may have made history because this time that was not the case. Actually, this was the first time EVER I’ve come home and felt awesome! // Except for the fact that I’ve been waking up at 5 a.m., craving potato chips instead of breakfast food. But that’s another problem entirely.

I take comfort in knowing that this gluten free mac and cheese can easily be made dairy-free, and it tastes just as amazing with that swap. // I mean, you know me, I love the real butter and cheese when I can eat it, so not being glutened, I’m eating the reallll thing. 😉

However you make it, just know that this one-pot easy gluten free macaroni and cheese will become a family staple, whether you are on vacation climbing mountains or just chilling out at home.

Making gluten free mac n cheese has just gotten too easy. You are welcome. 🙂
