[deadbob9]

can this be frozen?

EXTREME FLASHBACK ALERT!

This is YUMMY!  I've tried a few different nutritional yeast mac and cheese recipes before and my kids, nor I, really cared for them.  We all LOVE this one.  The consistency is great.  If you liked dairy mac and cheese, you just hit the jackpot with this recipe.

I made this the other night and found that I had to use more salt than the recipe called for.  It was rather bland but had a really creamy consistency.  I will try it again in the future and make some modifications.

Try stirring in a splash or two of soymilk while reheating - that should bring it back to it's former creaminess. Or you could do like I do, and just gorge on it all at one sitting with pants unbuttoned. Leftovers? What leftovers?

LMAO! 

I know exactly what you mean... when food is so yummy that your jeans no longer fit once you've had your fill...
But I haven't yet tried it with this recipe. I must!

I can not TELL you how completely yummy this was!! I am a very new Vegan and Mac n Cheese was always a fave of mine..but this is SO taking it's place from now on!!!  Thanks a million!!
I subbed the water for veg broth & also added a lil tumeric &  a bit more onion & garlic powder as well as a tiny bit more salt...YUM-O!!!

I agree. I definitely think the mustard made all the difference. This has to be the best mac & cheese I have ever had (dairy versions included). This was also my first NY expirience. Absolutely wonderful. This will probably be a very frequently made recipe.

im eating this now, which reminded me to say something about how awesome it is!
ive been making this for quite a while, and it's by far my favorite mac and cheese EVER!
my little brother (not at ALL vegan) loves it too.
i dont really make any changes except a little bit more salt and a splash more soymilk to get it the right consistency (my flour measuring is usually off since i make half recipes and that sometimes makes the sauce too thick..).
yumyumyum.
 

also, with the whole storing it thing, i just store the sauce and the pasta separately and pour the sauce over the pasta before reheating, and it works fine. (i dont know if someone already said this soooo sorry if im repeating something )

As brand new vegans, who have been lacto-ovo vegs for years, we have a lot to get used to. When I saw this recipe, I thought, "Give it a try." So, last night I made it. I used penne because I didn't have any macaroni and I added fresh broccol florets and some scallions. I agree with the poster who said it needed more salt, and I will probably tinker a bit to punch up the flavor, but my husband and I both loved it. Thanks for the recipe.

Had this last night.. it was great.. however if you are like me and got the "Cheese" sauce too thick.. i just put like 1/4 cup of the water i used to cook the pasta in the sauce.. it'll thin it right out and be great. Also i did like i saw in the picture, and thre some peas and carrots in mine. It fed me a 2 1/2 year old my husband the meat eater and a 15year old.. LOL.. so it does feed a lot!! thanks again..

i thought this recipe was pretty good but the leftovers didn't taste as great. i kept some of the sauce separate to add to the leftovers when i reheated it and the sauce tasted different after being in the fridge overnight. i'd probably still make it again but maybe half as much so we wouldn't have any leftovers.

This was really quick and easy!  I added 1/3 cup more f rice milk, cayenne pepper, broccoli,  cauliflower, and spinach to mine....oh and   topped mine off with crushed red pepper flakes and Frank's Red Hot sauce.....(but I like things SUPER SPICY!!!!)  I kept the leftover sauce separate and continued used the remainder once as a sauce for veggies, and the rest spread on a grilled sandwich with mushrooms, artichokes, and mashed avocado...........oh, and of course more hot sauce!!!!

thanks for a new staple in my fridge!

This is awesome mac & cheese!  The best I've had since being vegan... and I use the cheese sauce on EVERYTHING.  When I make the mac & cheese, though, I like to substitute vegan margarine for the veggie oil - it makes the sauce even creamier.  I also usually add chicken strips that I've gone and cooked up with a little red pepper spiciness to give the dish an extra kick.  My boyfriend, who can and does eat real cheese, LOVES this recipe.  Sometimes we add a couple tablespoons of bbq sauce after the cheese, to change things up a bit.  I bet it'd be really good with some broccoli and other veggies in it, too.  Anyways, GREAT recipe!  Thanks! =)

i'm vegan, my wife is not.  she (very) recently became a vegetarian.  tonight she told me if i could find a suitable vegan substitute for her very favorite comfort food (mac n cheese) that she would become vegan that day.  i had her read this recipe and the reviews and immediately made it. 

watching her face as she tried the cheese sauce was priceless.  her eyes got really big and she went in for more.  she absolutely LOVED it and said she would be asking for this alllll of the time!

it was SO fast and SO easy to make.  like, literally, the sauce was done before the noodles were done!  this was one of the fastest and easiest recipes i've made on this site!

we give it five stars!   

i would highly recommend this recipe to everyone!  even if you've only got twenty minutes to make your meal, because it took less than that!

we've got this recipe hanging up on our refrigerator now!

This look so good!  Someone make it for me please? I havent learned how to use the microwave yet!!!   

[propinecone]

delicious and super easy!  i love that it doesnt include mustard.. i always feel like the ones that do are too mustardy tasting and smelling.  i'd definitely make this again.
