Everyone loves this classic comfort food. This oh-so-creamy, gluten-free version is easy, quick, and absolutely packed with cheesy goodness. The quinoa pasta won’t lose its texture in the oven and the sprinkle of parmesan on top adds a savory crunch.
What you’ll need:
2 cups gluten free macaroni (we prefer GOGO Quinoa)
1 cup Kraft tex mex shredded cheese
1/2 cup Kraft Italiano shredded cheese
TIP: Use 1 and 1/2 cups of whatever cheeses you have on hand
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons Kraft Cheez Whiz or ¼ cup Velveeta, diced
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper to taste
What you’ll do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 11 pan or medium casserole.
Parboil the macaroni in medium sauce pan. If you are using GOGO Quinoa pasta, seven minutes in boiling water is perfect.
Remove from heat, drain, and pour the macaroni back into pot.
Put pot on low heat and add butter, sour cream, cheese whiz (or velveeta), milk, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted.
Add the 1 ½ cups of grated cheese. Stir until melted.
Pour into the greased pan and top with 1 cup cheddar cheese. For a savory crispy coating, sprinkle top of casserole with shredded Parmesan.
Bake for 20 minutes.
For dinner, serve with gf and me’s cedar plank salmon and Mary’s baked beans, or for lunch, try it with gf pizza bagels or with a hotdog wrapped in a potato flour tortilla … delicious!

my favorite gf comfort food is stuffed peppers. Here is my recipe from my own GF blog http://ruppesisterscook.com/?s=stuffed+peppers. thanks for this site! It’s very inspiring.
Oh my – those do look yummy. Thanks for the link.
definitely have to try this, what recipe of yours would you recommend on a mass production level that I could try out? I’m talking around 5-600 people
Wow! That’s a lot of people. If you are looking for a side dish, I’d recommend the au gratin scalloped potatoes. (https://www.gfandme.com/2013/03/24/best-au-gratin-scalloped-potatoes-and-theyre-gluten-free-too/). The mac and cheese is very good, but if you will need to let it sit (as in at a buffet) the pasta might go soggy. Hope that helps.
