Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (Add dairy-free for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Milk (Use 1%, 2%, or whole milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Elbow Macaroni
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 cup Panko or Plain Bread Crumbs (Choose gluten-free alternatives)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, add dairy-free for vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with the melted butter in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the gluten-free flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the heated milk until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in yellow mustard, salt, and pepper.
  6. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted.
  7. Fold in the cooked gluten-free macaroni until evenly coated.
  8. Spoon the mac and cheese mixture into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and breadcrumb mixture.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Let the bites cool in the tins before removing. Serve warm.

Notes

These bites can be paired with a fresh salad or a tangy dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
