If you're on this diet with me and for long term, do you ever just sit around and try to think of other things you used to eat? Mac and cheese popped up in my head suddenly one day. I wasn't the biggest fan of it or anything, but I did miss the kind of nostalgic feeling of having it. Growing up, this was a regular side dish. I finally got some inspiration to give it a shot and this is what I've ended up with!

Gnocchi Noods:
1 lb ground chicken
2 eggs
Topping:
1 oz pork rinds, ground
3 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese Sauce:
1 Cup Heavy Cream
3 Oz Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp Mustard (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1) Mix your pork rinds and parmesan cheese together and season to taste. Set aside for later.
2) In a food processor, add your ground chicken and eggs. Process this on high for about 1 minute or until you have a smooth texture. Place a gallon sized ziploc bag into a cup and fold the edges over. Place the mixture into this bag then seal and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
3) While your dough is resting, setup a double boiler over medium high heat. Add your cream and bring the temp of it up until it is warm to the touch. Slowly whisk in your cheese to avoid anything breaking. Add your mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4) Fill a non-stick pan 3/4 of the wat to the top. Add about 1 tbsp of salt to season the water. Bring this to a simmer.
5) Cut the corner of the ziploc bag and begin piping the mixture into the water. The size is up to you. I went with about a half inch for each. Once all of the gnocchi have been made, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
6) Carefully fold your cheese sauce, gnocchi, and 2 tbsp of cheddar together. Place this into a baking container and top with your topping. Place under a hi broil oven for 4-8 minutes or until golden brow. Serve hot.

I found a great thickener for gravies and cheese sauces when carnivore is collagen powder. Works just like flour

Just capture the collagen from your briskets and pork shoulders.
My 7-year-old daughter and I made this for lunch. Instead of ground chicken, we used ground beef and used sharp white cheddar with the heavy whipping cream. Zero carbs, high fat deliciousness. Next time, we'll make the crunchy topping. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

Pork rinds for crunchiness or chicken skins.
I normally don't leave reviews but I have to for you. I want to say thank you for posting the recipe in the description. I know it may seem to other youtubers that if they do list the recipe no one would watch their videos, but that is not the case. I watch all your videos all the way through and I still read the description. In fact, you are the only carnivore recipe maker that I actually look towards for all my wonderful dinners and "deserts". I think it shows your care for your viewers and I wish that all youtubers would do this. Sometimes we don't want to watch half a video to find out we can't eat what they are "recepieing" about because they add in an ingredient that we are trying to avoid. Again, Thank you!

Yes!!! You are absolutely correct in your statement. I’ve only seen this 1 video of his, and I just made it tonight! Sooo DELISH! I wouldn’t call it mac & cheese, but it is very tasty. I added salt and pepper to the chicken egg mixture. (which you didn’t do, and I was wondering why?) And next time I will add CRUNCHY bacon bits into the recipe! And I will add more of that Chicharrón on top. I think that would be most excellent, because that crunch is a really nice mouth feel. ❤❤ and now I’m going to look up your other recipes.

I've been experimenting with a cyclical keto/low carb diet, and it's fascinating to me how creative people are with these recipes.
I am a retired private chef, and I can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I am new to the carnivore way of eating waiting to have blood work done before I start.
I added a little bit of melted butter to the chicken smoothie. Helped to firm up better in the fridge. Pipped in an icing bag and used scissors to cut them. Was less messy. Thank you for your recipes
I made this tonight for dinner for my boyfriend and I. While we've never made it before, I just happened to watch the video couple days ago and last night when I was at the store there was ground pork on the markdown rack! I bought it and thought that would probably work just as well as ground chicken. It turned out deliciously! Oh, and because we like spicy stuff, I used the Mac's brand ghost pepper jack flavored chicharrones/pork rinds for the topping and also added some ground jalapeno powder into the cheese sauce. All-in-all, delish!! Oh, and just to make it easier, when I put water in my pot for the double boiler, I just added extra water, so once my cheese sauce was done, I took it off, added salt to the water in the pot and then used it to cook my meat in, rather than getting out of separate pan. Worked great. Thanks for the recipes!

just made this tonight and it was awesome. I'd like to note that the chicken egg smoothie can be made into homemade nuggets/popcorn really easy if you fry it in ghee. Just season it a bit and you've got nice little nuggets. Frying it definitely gave it a firmer texture but they didn't absorb the sauce as a side effect. I seasoned with ginger and a garlic/onion mix with salt and pepper and the chicken flavor was distinct from the sauce.

Reheating this dish is something else. I don't recommend a microwave as it really dries out the pork rind covering and causes the cheese sauce to separate slightly. Better to put it on low heat in an oven because it was a solid brick when I took it out of the fridge.

What beautiful memories you have together. A big hug.
Just came to add that if anyone thinks they'll be making this alot or have trouble with the emulsion process. You can buy sodium citrate which is a great emulsifier. Simply bring water to a boil, add tsp to tbsp depending on Quantity of cheese sauce you're making and then add cheese and stir. It will naturally melt and emulsify with little effort and no risk of separation

I’m making your pork rind taco shells tonight but I will definitely try this one. Thanks for expanding my mind of the possibilities on carnivore.
Made this several times, one of my favs. So creamy & the crunchy topping is great ❤
Thank you, Reed, for this and all your Carnivore recipes. You have enhanced all of our lives. Thanking God for you, and hope you prosper in all you do.
I made this last night. Only modification I made was that I used a couple of sandwich bags instead of the gallon size. It was amazing. Your cheese sauce reminded me of Stouffer's. Made two servings.
this is awesome. thanks for the wonderful idea.

The hardest part of this recipe is watching it bubble in the oven, waiting for the crust to turn golden brown.
This is awesome, and I would say this is a game changer! 💃
I'm really enjoying your creative videos and esp how short and sweet and to the point they are. I like crunch stuff, I wonder how it would turn out if you friend the "noodles" instead of boiling them. This looks like a great idea for when boredom sets in!! I will be trying this!
