Cooking: Macaroni and Cheese (Keto or Not)

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of macaroni and cheese.  For many years I just used the boxed stuff but when we started keto that was no longer an option.  I decided to try and create my own cheese sauce and use keto friendly noodles and when I did it was an instant hit with my family.  The great thing about this recipe is it’s versatility, if you aren’t on keto you can certainly substitute your favorite noodles!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Noodles (Cooked)
  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Crushed Garlic
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Mustard
  • 3 Ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1/8 Cup Shaved Parmesan
  • 1/8 Cup Mozzarella
  • 1/2 Cup Gouda
  • 1/2 Cup Colby Jack

These measurements are purely suggestions and I encourage you to add or take away ingredients to meet your preferences.

Step 1:  Melt butter in a saucepan, add crushed garlic and ground mustard to the melted butter.  Cook until well combined, make sure not to burn the garlic!

Step 2:  Add the heavy cream and cream cheese and cook until the cream cheese is melted.

Step 3:  Add cheeses until melted and well combined.

Step 4:  Add cooked pasta to cheese sauce.

Step 5:  Place in oven safe dish and cook on 350 for approximately 20-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
