This recipe is from - The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook – by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt
To adapt this recipe for camping -
At home - Combine the dry ingredients in a small sealable container - sorghum flour, dry mustard, salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper.
For cheese, we take a couple of sealed bags of shredded cheese with us.
If space is limited, or if it is inconvenient, you might leave the Worchestershire sauce at home.
Additional note, we used a 12 ounce can of evaporated milk, just because it was convenient, and we think it turned out fine.

We really enjoy this one! Just like any pasta dish, you could add some vegetable, especially tomatoes to the Mac & Cheese.
A variation - add bacon! Yum!
