Flashback Mac and Cheese

[Sagesveganmama]

SO GOOD!!!  I made this recipe tonight for my 14 month old son.  I added peas and carrots. It was delicious.  I don't think my son liked it much but he is a picky eater.  My husband and I throughly enjoyed it.  I'm sharing this recipe with friends and family.  Thank you!!!

This is great for when you want a simple mac-un-cheese recipe, without nuts... I mean, ground cashews are great for creaminess, but sometimes you want that tasty cheddaryness of nooch... Mmmm.

I LOVE this recipe. It is SO good and I love that it doesn't call for tofu! I didn't have any tofu today but wanted mac and cheese and this was perfect. It is my new go-to recipe. I subbed margarine for the oil, added a dash of turmeric, a dash of dry mustard, and added peas to the macaroni. Delicious and so easy!

To me this tasted exactly like "Tuna Noodle Helper" cheese sauce, not Kraft or Velveeta shells and cheese.  I used light soymilk (not unsweetened) and whole wheat flour though...maybe that had something to do with it?

This sauce was so delicious. Perfectly creamy, mellow but not bland. I ate it with pasta and greenbeans, with just a little lemon juice and an extra pinch of salt. I also think that this would taste great as a mozz sub on pizza or lasagna.

Mmm! I've made this recipe so many times and it's always so tasty! I like to throw in a little edamame in the pasta water a few minutes before the pasta is done. This adds a little variety while giving the recipe extra protein! Highly recommended with some fresh ground pepper sprinkled on top.

After reading the reviews, and seeing the pictures of this recipe that pretty much made me salivate, I HAD to try it. But I'm not gonna lie...I was expecting a little more. I loved how creamy it was, but to really bring out the cheesy flavour, I had to use alot of salt. But i topped it with some hemp hearts and chopped crimini mushrooms, and they complimented it really well. It's definately a recipe I'll use again, I'll just have to make sure I add alot of salt.

Yum!
I didn't use garlic or onion powder, but instead of mixing the oil with the wet ingredients I used the oil to sautee some mushrooms, capsicums and fresh garlic before adding the rest, and added mustard to the sauce...great meal!
Lovely to eat something that tastes this cheesy and creamy without feeling guilty or sick as a dog afterwards

Completely forgot to comment before... I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! I'm about to make it again now.
The last time I had so much leftover that I threw in some cooked black beans and chik'n strips, put some salsa and hot sauce on top, OMG.... soooooooooo good.
Tonight I think I'm going to throw in some chopped tomatoes broccoli and navy beans (I want black but dont have any). Mmmmmmmmmmm I can't wait.

I just made this recipe.  It's great. I didn't have any flour so I  substituted with 1/4 cup of cornstarch.  I didn't have any onion powder so I doubled the garlic powder.  I used veggie broth.  I thought the salt level was fine; I used sea salt.  I needed a little extra liquids though...this might be due to my use of cornstarch instead of flour.  I will use again, and again, and again.  Thanks for the recipe.

I made this over the weekend, it was good.  I"m not 100% sold  NY yet, but this recipes was a much better version of NY sauce that my first attempt.
I added peas and diced tomatoes - just like i used to for the boxed mac and cheese- and saved some of the pasta water to help thin the sauce down, which was necessary, the sauce continued to thicken up as i waited for the pasta to finish.   Added some pizza spice - to compliment the tomatoes.

this seems like it would be really tasty! ( i mean there are TONS of good reviews! ) i think i might make it soon, by the way is this sauce good on other things? ( nachos, etc.)

I agree with the last poster... This sauce is absolutely amazing!  I use it for nachos, which my real-cheese-eating fiance LOVES, and for pasta bakes, and as a dipping cheese for bread, soy-pigs in blankets, etc.  It's an awesome cheese sauce.  I usually use vegan margarine instead of the oil, makes it creamier, but it's good either way.  Definitely try it!

Mmm, I just used the leftover sauce in some beans and rice! Very good addition to a wonderful staple.
