Southern Comfort

I was craving some Southern Comfort food, having lived in the South for three years, there's nothing like a homemade Macaroni casserole.

Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese Casserole

You will Need:

One box of Ancient Harvest Pasta Shells (You can use any gluten free pasta, I like Ancient Harvest for the consistency and taste and the shells remind me of when I was little).

4 oz. of cubed mild cheddar cheese

4 oz. of cubed Jarlsberg cheese

2 cups of Milk

1/4 cup Gluten free All Purpose Flour (Again any flour you choose will suffice, I have used Pamela's Gluten free Bread Mix before with no problems).

1/4 cup Butter

1/4 cup Gluten Free Bread Crumbs

1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Heat the oven to 350* degrees, and boil the water for your noodles. Heat the butter on the stove adding the flour gradually, to make a thick base. Slowly add the 2 cups of milk whisking gently, then add your cubed cheese, it takes about 5 minutes for the cheese to fully melt and for you to see a saucy texture. Add salt and Pepper to taste. Once you have cooked and strained your noodles, combine the sauce and noodles in a casserole dish. In a seperate bowl mix together the bread crumbs and the parmesan cheese, sprinkling this over the top. Cook uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
