Categories     Side Dish     Grain Side Dish Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 slices bread, crusts removed and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
2 cups quinoa
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
2 cups skim milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon butter
1 large tomato, cored and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Process cubed bread in a food processor to make bread crumbs. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a deep ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add quinoa, chicken stock, and water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer; cover and cook until quinoa is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour; cook and stir to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in skim milk. Season with salt and ground black pepper; simmer on low until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, a little at a time, until combined. Stir cheese sauce into quinoa mixture in the skillet.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; cook and stir until crumbs are toasted, about 2 minutes. Place tomato slices on top of quinoa; top with bread crumbs. Quinoa mixture will be soupy but will firm up during baking.
  • Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

2016-04-26 Before I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, oven baked smoked Gouda mac and cheese was one of my go to dishes. Pasta has too many carbs for me these days, and this recipe is a delicious, less carb alternative.

UNHEALTHY QUINOA MAC AND CHEESE - REVIEW BY …
2013-04-16 I followed the recipe except I did not put the bread crumbs or tomato on top. It really was delicious. Very cheesy and creamy. The only thing I will do different next time is make a half recipe. It made a lot. Quinoa is much more filling than macaroni so our family of 3 barely ate a 3rd of it and we all had 2nd helpings.

I scaled it down for two, but it's so delish and rich that I split one serving between the two of us with a salad on the side. Oh, darn, we'll have to have this again, cause it took extreme willpower not to scarf it all up. I made it as …
