- 3cups milk(can substitute with cashew milk)
- 1 1/2cup water
- 16 oz cheddar cheeseshredded
- 2tbsp cornstarch
- 1tbsp paprika
- 1tbsp salt
- 1/2tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2tbsp onion powder
Instructions
- Mix together the cornstarch, paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Set aside
- Bring to a boil 5 quarts of water and add pasta. (Please see note at the bottom of the recipe for full explanation on cooking pasta for this recipe)
- Coat the bottom of a dutch oven or a large non-stick skillet with olive oil, brown ground beef; drain well
- Add water, milk and dry ingredients to the beef; mix well
- Add par-cooked, rinsed pasta to the beef; mix well
- Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally
- Add cheese and stir well. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Check pasta for doneness. If the pasta is not quite done the mix can sit and the pasta will continue to soften even after the stove is turned off.
Recipe Notes
Gluten free pasta takes much longer to cook than regular pasta. For the gluten free noodles in this recipe you need to par-cook the noodles before adding to the recipe for it to work well. Since each pasta is different you have to cook the noodles to the point where they have about 5 minutes left. I used brown rice pasta and I pre-cooked the noodles for 12 minutes before adding to the mixture. Rinse the pasta well to wash away any excess starch before adding them to the mixture.
This Cheesy Mac (Homemade Hamburger Helper) recipe is gluten free.
