What You Need to Make Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese Bites
- Brazi Bites cheese bread: I like using the Brazi Bites cheddar and parmesan flavor for this recipe. You can use any flavor of Brazi Bites that you like: they also have garlic asiago and three cheese pizza!
- Gluten-free pasta: You can use whatever pasta you like! A couple of my favorite gluten-free pastas are Eat Banza, Barilla, and Ancient Harvest. I used elbows in this recipe, but feel free to change up the shape to what ever you prefer.
- Butter: Any butter you like will work! I do recommend using salted butter for optimal taste.
- Cheddar cheese: You can change up the cheeses to whichever you prefer, but I like using cheddar and parmesan to match the flavor of the Brazi Bites.
- Parmesan cheese: Grated or shredded both work in the recipe.
- Salt: Make sure to salt the pasta water before putting your gluten-free pasta into the pot. I also always add salt to the finished mac & cheese to taste!
- Pepper: I like mixing in pepper to the mac & cheese and also adding it to the top of the mac & cheese bites before serving!
