¼ cup cornstarch
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

2 gluten-free bread slices, toasted and broken into crumbs (Optional)
1 teaspoon butter, softened (Optional)
½ teaspoon paprika (Optional)
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Step 3
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir salt and mustard powder into melted butter and remove saucepan from heat.
