Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients:

• 10 ounces gluten-free elbow pasta
• ¼ cup butter
• 1?¼ teaspoons salt
• ¾ teaspoon mustard powder
• 4 cups milk
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 2 gluten-free bread slices, toasted and broken into crumbs
• 1 teaspoon butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.

3. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir salt and mustard powder into melted butter and remove the saucepan from heat.

4. Whisk milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into butter mixture until well blended. Return saucepan to stove; cook milk mixture, stirring constantly, over medium heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.

5. Stir 3 cups Cheddar cheese into sauce until the heat from sauce melts the cheese. Add pasta to cheese sauce and stir well; pour into the prepared baking dish.

6. Combine remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese, gluten-free bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon butter, and paprika in a bowl; sprinkle over pasta mixture.

7. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is crunchy, about 30 minutes.
