Worlds Best Gluten Free Mac & Cheese.

I moved this Mac and cheese over from bakingangell.com so that I could provide a print feature for the recipe. :) (Plus this website is just better all around.)

This recipe is EXTREMELY special. Growing up my husbands mother made this Mac and cheese on all special occasions. It was Rich’s favorite..and every holiday he would bring it up to me. His family is spread out in 3 different states so its not often we get to spend holidays with them.

So..I set out to re-make his mom’s Mac and cheese recipe Gluten Free. Over the years I tried different combinations of cheese, tested out different noodles and toppings and ultimately decided that this version was the very best. I didn’t share the recipe online until many years after perfecting it..as it felt really special and like one of those secrets I should hold close just for our family. This Mac and cheese has become my entire extended families favorite now too..we have it every Thanksgiving, Christmas and at every cookout or special holiday gathering. We have been now making it EVERY YEAR for at least 7 years.

It took me awhile..but I eventually felt ready to share the recipe on my website..and I’m glad I did as this recipe has quickly become a tradition in hundreds of new homes! Which is pretty special.

The instructions below will make a large batch perfect for serving a crowd! You can also divy it up and put some in a casserole to bake off..and some in smaller containers to freeze. The key is to freeze is after the cheese and noodles have been mixed BEFORE baking it. But..I promise if you bake the whole batch at once..it wont go to waste. Everyone always goes backs for seconds & wants to bring leftovers home!

Please leave a comment below if you have tried the recipe or if you try it this holiday season! <3
