This really is THE BEST VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE – HACK! Plus, it’s ready in under 15 minutes and there are only SIX ingredients. Give this DAIRY-FREE version a shot and let me know what you think in the comments!

Macaroni and cheese has always been one of my favorite foods. It’s warm, cheesy, gooey, buttery, creamy…pretty much COMFORT IN A BOWL if there is such a thing. This version is A MUST TRY!! Our family is always so happy to see this one on the menu!

Let’s Make the Best Vegan Mac and Cheese

This one is super easy! Boil your pasta according to the directions on the package. While your noodles are cooking, make your sauce by blending the following in a blender until super creamy:

• Daiya American Style Cheese Slices – Make sure to get the AMERICAN, not CHEDDAR slices.
• Cashews – If you’re not using a high-speed blender, soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes to soften.
• Water
• Nutritional yeast
• White or mellow miso paste
• Vegan bouillon – I like Better than Bouillon No-Chicken Base

When noodles are done cooking, drain and add back to pot. Pour blended cheese sauce in and stir well to combine. Let mac and cheese sit for 5 minutes for sauce to thicken (this is the hardest part).

Make it Even Better

There are so many variations to the classic mac and cheese. You could add garlic, other types of cheese, buffalo sauce, salsa, vegan bacon or ground, chili beans, hot sauce, veggies, or a crunchy topping like panko or crispy onion strips. Make it spicy and throw in some cayenne, red pepper flakes, or jalapeños. Or, go old school and add some sliced up vegan hot dogs!
