the EASIEST, CHEESIEST MAC N' CHEESE! (Also VEGAN!)

Күн бұрын

Hi Everybody! Here's my quick and easy way to make the best VEGAN MAC N' CHEESE!
This one is super simple to put together, and instead of using nuts or carrots, we're gonna simply use some Vegan Milk, Butter and Cheese! This sauce comes together in the same time it takes to boil some pasta so it's a perfect lazy weeknight meal!
For the recipe please visit:

As THEE BURGER DUDE, my goal is to show vegans and non-vegans alike how to make easy, vegan comfort food!

@@alex30208 You can usually find it in the health aisle, under the name "Nutritional Yeast" or "Yeast Flakes" or something along those varieties. It goes great in things like soups, I love it on my baked tofu bites especially. Once you find it and add it to your dishes, you'll wonder how you went so long without LOL.

Tried today. Thought it was gonna be gross but Turned out good, I must say. I also added seasoned bread crumbs and plant butter mixture -spread over the top and baked for 15 to 20 minutes. Also I used the Chao creamy vegan cheese shred which doesn't melt that great but follow the recipe and let it sit for a few minutes and it will melt into the cheese mixture smoothly. Hope this helps anyone who may have any issues! Thanks thee burger dude 😋

My problem with these cheese sauces is that Daiya and Violife (as every other cheese like that) not only taste weird to me, they also feel like melted plastic on your tounge, and they even have a plasticy after taste. I'm usually not one to go for the healthier versions of junk food, but I just dislike these cheeses so much so that I will opt for the potato-cashew recipes over the store bought cheeses every day. I think Chao is made out of fermented tofu, maybe if you're like me but you want this recipe to work for you, you should give it a go. I've never tried it because we don't have it where I'm from, but I'm just trying to think of solutions for my fellow cheese-decliners (can you find a better phrasing for that? 😂). Anyway, would love to hear your thought about it or any suggestions you have on how to make this delicious-looking recipe to work for me, too!

@TheeBurgerDude 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm, I don't seem to have that problem with these cheeses. Daiya has improved quite a bit since I first tried it a couple years ago. I've given this mac n' cheese to non-vegans and they love it too, so I dunno! I would stick to the cashew based cheese sauces if you don't care for the vegan cheeses though!

Oh cool! Yeah that sounds like a plan. You can literally use it for anything you'd use a cheese sauce with, potatoes, broccoli, nachos. I've even just put it on a burger or a breakfast taco. And yeah, now that you mention it, when I was testing out this recipe, I made it with a pound of pasta, and that didn't feel saucy enough, so I halved the amount and that was just right.
