Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces gluten-free elbow pasta
¼ cup butter
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon mustard powder
4 cups milk
¼ cup cornstarch
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 gluten-free bread slices, toasted and broken into crumbs
1 teaspoon butter, softened
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir salt and mustard powder into melted butter and remove saucepan from heat.
  • Whisk milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into butter mixture until well blended. Return saucepan to stove; cook milk mixture, stirring constantly, over medium heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
  • Stir 3 cups Cheddar cheese into sauce until heat from sauce melts cheese. 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.
