Easy Vegan Macaroni and Cheese
I don’t know about y’all, but when I was a kid I ate probably 3 boxes of mac and cheese per week. Who could resist the simplicity of the bright yellow skinny tubes of pasta! But what about vegan macaroni and cheese, though?
Nowadays there are many convenient, boxed vegan options out there. I’ve tried quite a few and I can safely say that not a single variety is worth the $5+ price tag. For instance, my favorite would be daiya, but it only has three servings per box, the pasta is gluten free and therefore not my preference, and it costs over $5 unless it’s on sale, which I’ve rarely seen. 3 servings for that price just doesn’t cut it for my family. I’d have to make two boxes to get and adequate size portion for each of us.
Thankfully my kids love the vegan macaroni and cheese we now make. We make it a few different ways, but this is the basic recipe. It’s more affordable than buying the packaged kind, and you can have control over the kind of pasta used. We like traditional elbows, the classic straight macaroni that brings my back to my childhood, ziti, bowtie, whatever you want really! It doesn’t take very long to prepare and we make big batches to keep on hand for lunches as well. If you do use them as leftovers, make sure to add a splash of water or more butter as you reheat to make sure it isn’t too dry. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions!
