Gluten Free Dairy Free Mac N Cheese
If you know anything about me, you know that I’m a sucker for mac-n-cheese.
It’s hands-down my favorite dinner ever, next to pizza anyway (I know, i don’t have the most sophisticated palette, but it is the yummiest. ;)).
Recently I was inspired to create a baked gluten-free, dairy-free mac and it.was.beyond.delicious. I think beyond delicious is technically what we would call epic, but don’t quote me on that.
And now…
If you really want to put a pioneer twist on this modern pioneer pie, try making your own grain-free or gluten-free pasta to use in this mac’n’cheese pie! But for modern pioneers who want to stick to the quick, easy, and simplicity of classic mac’n’cheese there are some gluten-free and grain-free pasta options to choose from!
Take your mac game to the next level with this recipe – and be sure to repbesort back!
- Or perhaps that it originated from a popular New England church dish called macaroni pudding. Then in 1937, Kraft released their boxed mac ‘n’ cheese and it quickly gained popularity because of its affordability. Our gluten-free, plant-based version has all the comfort but without the wheat and dairy! Vegan Gluten-Free Mac ‘n‘ Cheese.
- Smoked Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Crunchy Potato Chip Crust (gluten-free, dairy-free) Disclosure: As mentioned earlier in the post, the nice folks at Banza sent a few boxes of their pasta to me. No other compensation was received and I was not asked to write about their product.
- Dairy Free Mac ‘N Cheese. Created by Fork and Beans for the 2015 Blogger Ambassador Program Dairy Free Mac ‘N Cheese is a delicious dairy free alternative to out of the box mac ‘n cheese. Just add Ancient Harvest and enjoy!

- 1 bag of Tinkyada Pasta Joy, organic brown rice pasta (it’s soooo delish)
- 2 blocks of Daiya Jalapeno Havarti cheese (do not use pre-shredded cheese for this – it doesn’t melt the same), then grate the cheese into a delicious heaping pile 🙂
- 1/2 c raw mild cheddar goat cheese – optional, not required, just gives the flavor some depth, grate as well
- 1 c organic salted butter or vegan butter like Miyoko’s
- 1/2 cup Milkadamia unsweetened milk
- Organic olive oil
- 4 pieces of brown rice bread, toasted and cubed
Step one: Preheat oven to 350. Use olive oil to oil a 2L glass pan.
Step two: Boil the pasta for 7-8 minutes, not fully cooked. Remove from heat and drain. Then place back into saucepan it was boiled in. Keep off of heat. Stir in 2T of organic olive oil.
Step three: In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter, once melted, add in milk and once well stirred, add in 1.5 blocks of the cheese and 1/4 c of the raw goat cheese (if using). Turn to low and stir often until melted.
Step four: Pour the cheese sauce mixture over the pasta, stir well to make sure the pasta is thoroughly covered.
Step five: Pour half of the pasta cheese mixture into the glass pan. Then sprinkle over the top of this 1/2 of the remaining cheese.
Step six: Pour the remaining pasta cheese mixture on top of this. Sprinkle more cheese over this, then add bread crumbs. Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top.
Step seven: Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbling and bread crumbs are slightly golden.
Bless this incredible dish with both of your hands placed over it and ask that it be filled with the frequency of Love and bring more Love and blessings to all who eat it. Affirm that so it is. It is so. (And so it will be!)
