Popeyes Macaroni & Cheese [0000535]

Ingredients:

8 ounces gluten-free elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups milk (dairy or dairy-free)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

Cook the gluten-free elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it forms a thick paste.

Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Add the cooked gluten-free elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine, ensuring all the pasta is coated with the cheesy goodness.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the macaroni is heated through.
