- to taste Salt and pepper

- Once the macaroni is slightly tender (about 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low), add in the evaporated milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Gradually mix in the shredded cheese until it’s melted and creamy.
- If you desire a crunchy topping, sprinkle gluten-free breadcrumbs on top of the cheese mixture and cover for an additional 30 minutes to crisp it up.
Serving
- Once it’s bubbly and heated through, serve it hot and enjoy the symphony of cheesy flavors.
Notes
Choose high-quality cheese for optimal creaminess. Don’t overcook the pasta to avoid mushiness. For richer flavor, consider adding cream cheese or sour cream. Add vegetables for a nutritious twist.
