Giving up gluten also means giving up the macaroni and cheese from a box. This homemade version makes a comforting meal that tastes way better than the boxed stuff.

Difficulty: Easy

Hands-on: 15 minutesTotal: 45 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked gluten-free elbow macaroni
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
¼ tsp. gluten-free dry mustard
¼ tsp. gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
1 cup whole milk
1½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. crushed gluten-free corn flakes

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 275°F.
Step 2
Cook macaroni noodles in a large pot of water according to package directions. Drain in a colander.
Step 3
While the macaroni cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until smooth.
Step 4
Add the milk and cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy and smooth, about 5–8 minutes.
Step 5
Stir the macaroni noodles into the cheese sauce.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with the crushed corn flakes.
Step 7
Bake 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and lightly browned. Let the casserole dish sit about 5 minutes before serving so the cheesy, creamy sauce has a chance to thicken.
