I absolutely adore this gluten-free baked macaroni and cheese. I mean who doesn’t love a good batch of homemade mac and cheese? It’s right up there with Au Gratin potatoes in my book! Unfortunately, because it’s just me, I don’t get to make it as often as I like. But this Thanksgiving, my Mom asked me if I would bring some macaroni and cheese for our Thanksgiving feast. I was delighted to have the opportunity to make my baked macaroni and cheese to share with the family!

This was made this using gluten-free brown rice noodles

(I use this brand and really like it). No one in the family could even tell that it was gluten-free! Most baked macaroni and cheese recipes also usually call for some type of flour to thicken the cheese sauce. I used arrowroot powder as a thickener in order to keep this dish gluten-free! This is one of the brands of organic arrowroot powder that I use regularly!

This gluten-free baked macaroni and cheese is really yummy and was a huge hit at our holiday gathering….but this is one dish that is perfect anytime! You can make this a complete meal by adding some diced uncured ham!

    Where do I use the heavy cream?? I literally just put this in the oven and looked on my counter and the heavy cream was still out. I hope it doesn’t taste bad 🙁
