I contacted a local store that sells other Borden cheeses and they contacted their distributor and they don’t know about it or how to get it. I’ve see pictures of the cheese online, but, when I contacted the co-op that makes the cheeses with the Borden label they aren’t familiar with it. However, as I looked into it, Borden sort of got sold off to some sort of equity investment company that sold off different aspects of it and the Borden name is on some of the products, but, they are all made by different companies. Borden supposedly sells some packaged individually wrapped American cheese slices. I thought I stumbled across some lactose free American process cheese. It is probably on the bottom tier of the mac and cheese hierarchy, but, that is what I remember. I’ve been trying to make macaroni and cheese like I had when I was a kid. I didn’t realize aged cheddar was lactose free either. So keep that in mind the next time you are at a restaurant and have to struggle to find out if there is lactose in the dish you want to enjoy! Evolution has shown that this is a great mutation (which is why we are in the minority), and it makes it possible for people to get great nutrition from milk and dairy products for their entire life! But it isn’t the way any other mammal species gets nutrition. Everyone else you know has the mutation for “Lactase Persistence”. In the animal world, there is only one bizarre species that consumes milk (of other species!) long after weaning: humans. My last comment for all of you out there who are Lactose Intolerant, you need to know that YOU ARE THE NORMAL ONES. I am not a spokesperson and none of my opinions have been bought or paid for - I just want you all to know that there is REAL sour cream, and REAL cream cheese and REAL yogurt that you can enjoy again! LF sisters and brothers: there is a great line of LF products out there that are REAL DAIRY that I have only found at Whole Foods. Look for a blue cylindrical container at your grocer. Progresso makes an Italian-seasoned panko that is LF and adds another layer of flavor to the Mac. I don’t make mine GF, so I’m free to use breadcrumbs. Almost cream sauce without the cream, if you get my drift. and flour and make a veloute sauce using chicken broth or water with bouillon cubes. What the heck, add chopped bacon to the Mac while you’re at it! I LOVE lactaid - but when we run out I make a roux with oil/bacon fat/etc. Just reduce salt and taste before seasoning. If you’re not afraid of bacon (animal fat is animal fat, just saltier than butter with no lactose!), reserve bacon fat and substitute it for butter when making sauces. Hope these tips help some of you out there: And you can, of course, use regular pasta in place of gluten free pasta, too.So glad to find your website! I’ve been making a similar Baked Mac-n-Cheez since I figured out that aged cheeses were safe for my belly! (Who knew, right? Look for 0 g sugars but take a lactase pill just for safety! Swiss, provolone, parm, romano, etc are all usually LF.) Let the mac and cheese thicken for a few minutes with the lid on the pan, then scoop and serve! Make this once and you’ll be whipping it up from memory at least once a week - it’s a keeper. This is the fun part of the recipe because you can play around with the cheeses you like and/or have in the fridge – you really can’t go wrong! If you want to stick with a more classic sauce though, choose medium-hard cheeses like sharp cheddar, gouda, and fontina. Once the pasta is tender add freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese then stir until the sauce is smooth, adding in an extra splash of milk if needed. Turn the heat down to low then stir slowly yet constantly until the pasta is tender, another 5-7 minutes or so.īefore your very eyes the milk will thicken from the starches released from the pasta. Turn the heat to medium then stir slowly yet constantly with a spatula until the milk comes to a simmer - NOT a boil - 10-12 minutes. At this point you can also add a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of warmth, if you please. I’ve used skim, 2%, and whole milk with fantastic results. Again, you can use whatever you’ve got on hand. Start by adding 6oz dry gluten free elbow pasta into a pot with milk and salt. If you don’t have or like skim milk - no problem! Use whatever you’ve got in the fridge. Just 5 ingredients (including salt!) tossed in a pot then stirred to create the creamiest gluten free mac and cheese that tastes like it has loads of cream and butter but is actually made with, get ready for it… Mac and cheese is one of those meals that’s not inherently gluten free but is a cinch to adapt, especially because my version has no flour roux. Gluten Free Mac and Cheese, to be exact! Get. It’s a good day to talk mac and cheese (aka any day).
