It’s no secret that I love cooking in mason jars and drinking out of mason jars. I swear, everything tastes better in a mason jar. It’s a fact.
I have a gluten sensitivity, which means sometimes I can eat it and have no issue and sometimes I eat it and regret it.
I have not completely cut it out of my diet. I just can’t. But, I have tried to make small changes here and there. I have been making homemade macaroni and cheese in mason jars for a few years now and decided to attempt it with gluten free noodles a few months ago. No one that I served it to could tell that they were gluten free noodles. These little jars were a delicious addition to a BBQ, plus, just toss a lid on top and save them for leftovers for a few days. These little mason jars full of goodness have become a staple in our casa for BBQs!
Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese in Mason Jars
Ingredients
- 4 cups Gluten Free Noodles I love this brand the best!
- 1 whole Egg Beaten
- 1/4 cup 1/2 Stick Or 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cup Gluten Free All-purpose Flour Cup4Cup is my fave!
- 2-1/2 cups Nonfat Milk original recipe uses whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Dry Mustard
- 1 pound Grated Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt More To Taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt More To Taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- Gluten Free Breadcrumbs optional to top with
Instructions
To finish the recipe:
-
Mix the cheese sauce and noodles together in one large pan.
-
Scoop the mixture into the 4 oz. mason jars. I use this cupcake scooper to do this.
-
Top with some grated cheese and breadcrumbs (gluten free) and bake at 350 degrees on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
*Head over to The Pioneer Woman’s site for the details on how to make the sauce, etc!
If you loved this recipe, you should try my gluten free lemon bar in a jar recipe and my gluten free shortcakes recipe!
Check out a few of my favorite cooking utensils that I used to make this recipe!
Ok… YUM! I cannot wait to try these – and all your other jar recipes. Anything in a jar just has to taste better right??
These look relish! Do you use the Cup4Cup flour in these? Where do you find gf breadcrumbs? My favorite gf pasta is Barilla. You cannot even tell it is gf.
I do! I forgot to add that! Thanks for the reminder! I added it. I also linked some great GF breadcrumbs! You can also make your own. GF bread is pretty dry, so I just throw a few pieces in the food processor or blender and pulse until I have some breadcrumbs!! Enjoy! xo!
Thanks so much!!
How cute are these? Love that you can fit them in mason jars! Too adorable!
Thanks for your recipes that are GF! My husband and son cannot have gluten so I am learning to cook sweets and things that they can have. Lemon bars in a jar we will try this weekend!
Great recipe! We’re not GF but I usually make GF pasta anyway! It’s healthier and I can’t even tell the difference!
YUM!! this is right up my alley!
I am a little late to your mac and cheese party, but i am definitely planning on putting this in my holiday recipe arsenal. Definitely making it while my husband is out and about, and seeing if he can tell the difference. It really looks delicious. Thanks for sharing it!!!! 🙂
