Recipe submitted by PopcornNinja, 03/18/08

Basic Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 cups plain soy milk (adjust to your liking)
    1 1/4 teaspoon salt
    10 oz. (1 block) grated cheddar-style soy vegan cheese (I like Vegan Gourmet, made by Follow Your Heart)
    1 pound tube shaped pasta (elbows, etc.)
    bread crumbs (optional)

Directions:

Cook pasta.

Pre-heat oven to 450 F.

While pasta is cooking, heat the soymilk and salt. Stir until creamy, then bring to a boil. Continue to heat and stir one minute after begins to bubble.

Turn heat to low, and stir in soy cheese until blended to a nice orange sauce.

Place cooked noodles in a casserole dish, and pour cheese sauce over noodles.

Stir to coat all noodles and top with bread crumbs if preferred.  Bake uncovered 10-12 minutes.

Serves: 6-8

Preparation time: 30 minutes

This was pretty good.  I just made it this afternoon for my father and he said he loved it, that it tasted like the real thing.  Unfortunately I hate the real thing.  I never did like Velveta Shells and Cheese and even nor the Kraft stuff, but everyone else seemed to love it so that makes me really happy.  A 5 star worthy recipe.   Thumbs Up

I can't tell you how excited I am about this recipe!! It tasted JUST like regular, non-vegan mac and cheese!!! That part creeped me out, actually. I tasted the sauce and my face went blank with shock. My mom was worried about me until I recovered and told her that the sauce tasted like cheese. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

I sprinkled breadcrumbs on top and then drizzled Earth Balance butter over them so they'd get crispy in the oven. And WOOOOOOOW it was so good! Even my mom--who eats and likes non-vegan mac and cheese--ate a bowl and went for seconds.

How come more people haven't tried and reviewed this recipe?!?! Holy crap ... can I give it 10 stars? Vegweb should change the rules ...

I used Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet (only kind of vegan cheese I use!) and Silk plain soymilk. The cheese didn't melt into the soymilk very well like the recipe said, so all I did was throw a lid on the pot and let it simmer for a little while--worked perfectly.

The other thing is, this recipe isn't the best reheated in the microwave. (It's still really good, though, I do it anyway)  The sauce breaks down and it isn't as creamy anymore. If you have time to heat it on the stovetop, though, that'd be perfect. I think I'm gonna go do that now.   Smiley

I must be the slowest of the slow because this came out awful.  It all went down hill when I was making the "cheese" sauce.  I should have known better, I'm not that great at cooking.  I really messed this recipe up  Cry

 Cheesy  Thank you popcorn ninja!!  i made this recipe for fathers day to take to my sister-n-laws house for dinner.  i was absolutely shocked that her preservative-packed children devoured this!!  i used a block of rice cheese instead of soy cheese because of rice cheese's milder flavor.  it was so creamy and tastey.  i did put the breadcrumbs on top, but i think the next time, I won't.  The breadcrumbs kinda sucked up some of the moisture and it was a bit dry at the top of the pan.  i think i will be making this this weekend for my parents who are coming into town.  thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I have finally found a good vegan mac n' cheese recipe...this one is a keeper.  My part-time vegan mother and 2 yr old son liked it too.  Tastes like the real thing, just made it tonight and could not stop eating it. 

Unlike a previous popular vegan version on this site which was repulsive...this was delicious and simple.
 
Thank you for posting it.   Cheesy

This is definitely my favourite base for mac and "cheese" ever.  I added a little sauteed onion, nutmeg, black pepper, and garlic powder.  I have only been vegan for a couple of years (vegetarian for nearly 10), but missed the comforting nature of baked macaroni and cheese quite a bit.  Thank you so much!  Smitten

This is really interesting! Because I have an anaphylactic (life-threatening) allergy to everything dairy, I can honestly say I've never had Macaroni and Cheese. So I made this recipe tonight and thought it was really good. My boyfriend, who loves meat and cheese, even thought it was edible. The sauce was really creamy, but I had to add about 2 teaspoons of a cornstarch (mixed with water to form a slurry) to the sauce to thicken it up. The only problem right now is my nose is stuffy and my throat hurts, two early signs that I ate something with dairy in it. I took some Benadryl, so let's hope I don't end up in the hospital. But I used the Vegan Gourmet cheddar cheese and that's the only thing that could have had trace amounts of dairy in it (I used Silk soymilk and I know that's okay). Does anyone know if they process that fake-cheese in a facility that also processes milk or cheese? I'll let you all know for sure tomorrow whether this is a "true" vegan cheese (depending on how my allergy symptoms progress). Otherwise it was great.  Wink

i LOVE this recipe!! i am recently trying to eliminate dairy from my diet to see if i have an allergy, so a friend referred me to this site. i happened to have everything exactly for this recipe so it was natural to make it. next time i will cut the recipe in half because it made waaaaay too much for my meat and cheese eating boyfriend, but i have to say it was really REALLY good!! so it was no problem eating it for 3 days straight, lol! but HE loved it, I loved it, it is awesome!

the only changes we made was that i added a few tablespoons of margarine to the cheese sauce for authenticity, and we happened to be completely out of salt and ended up using garlic salt instead...which turned out fine. and we didn't bake it, we just ate it out of the pot.

as far as the microwaving of the left overs, we just added a bit more soymilk and heated it up slowly and it was just fine! a definate keeper!!!

I made the recipe with edensoy light soymilk, vegan gourmet cheese, and garden rotini. I threw some french fried onion pieces on top instead of breadcrumbs. It was BOMB. Extra Cool

I halved the recipe, and between two people is was just enough.

This is so simple and yummy! This is the best recipe on this site. I'm not a fan of the nutritional yeast-it has a funny taste. I added two tofurkey sausages to the mix. YUM!

Thanks for sharing.
