We’ve also discovered that some less expensive cheeses are gritty even when you shred them yourself, but after the mac and cheese sits for a while the grittiness goes away. Purchase your cheese from the deli and shred it yourself. Prepackaged shredded cheese contains an anti-caking agent that can cause your final product to taste gritty. A serving size is 2 ounces of dry pasta which expands to approximately 1.5 cups with sauce when cooked. When you arrive stir it and loosen with milk if needed. Turn off the slow cooker but leave the lid on. We recommend making it and having it ready right before you leave. However, if this is a deal breaker, you can reheat it – simply add some milk to loosen the thickened sauce while reheating. We don’t recommend reheating macaroni and cheese as it never tastes quite the same and there’s a possibility that the macaroni will become mushy. Sharp cheddars will give this dish the best flavor, try Vermont white sharp cheddar! Can I make this ahead and reheat it? Monterey Jack works well, as does White American and White Cheddar.
I don’t eat yellow cheese, what is a good white substitute? Yes, rinse the uncooked pasta simply to remove any dust and foreign particles from the manufacturing plant. The recipe says to use uncooked noodles, however, it also says to rinse the pasta? Yes, this recipe can be doubled provided you have a large enough slow cooker.

The next best thing is to use evaporated milk and American cheese, the kind you get from the deli counter.

I think they thought it was a very fair trade-off for having mom gone for so long.ġ6oz package of elbow macaroni (I used Quinoa)Ģ pkgs shredded Daiya Cheese (I use one pkg cheddar and one mozzarella)Ģ 1/2 cups Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut MilkĢ. My kids were troopers while I was gone, so I promised I would make them this mac and cheese recipe when I came home. I recently spent some time up in Northern California because my dad had a DOUBLE knee replacement (he is such a rock star!). This is definitely a “treat” meal in my house. One word of caution…Daiya is high in fat (at least it is not the animal-based kind!), but not nearly as high in fat as dairy based cheese. I know this is a good mac and cheese recipe because the neighborhood boys (neither dairy OR gluten free) completely devour it whenever I make it. I can’t give So Delicious enough praise…their products are truly amazing!!! This recipe is also made that much better by the fact that So Delicious makes an amazing unsweetened coconut milk that totally replaces the “regular” milk in this recipe (and any other recipe). Thank goodness for Daiya brand cheese! It melts so well and provides my mac and cheese with such a great flavor. When my family became dairy free and my daughter became gluten free on top of that, I knew I needed to come-up with a yummy dairy and gluten free version.
