@Alexandra 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.
Absolutely!! That stuff is amazing on EVERYTHING. Salads, soups, “meat”(obviously vegan meat), dressings, burgers, stir fry’s. Literally anything. Apparently even cereal but I haven’t tried that. lol.
I made this recipe tonight for dinner and it was amazing! BTW if you're using daiya shredded cheese, don't use as much as the recipe calls for. Daiya gets really thick and it doesn't pour so either don't use as much cheese or add more milk.
I made this sauce and put it on roasted veggies tonight. I used violife shreds and it wouldn't quite melt, so I just used my immersion blender to get it smooth. 10/10 super easy and good
Ah yes, I should mention that! I find that some pre-grated cheeses won't always totally melt, or it will take a long time. Immersion blender is definitely needed sometimes, so thanks for reminding me. Glad it came out good!
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 😋
I just made your recipe and it's delicious!!! I love that it is a non-vegan recipe that is veganized! I've made my fair share of the carrots and potato one, and the cashews one, and obviously this one tastes the best and is amazing!
Omg this was amazing! I added buffalo sauce to mine and it is exactly what I’ve been craving all day. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you!!
Just made this (with gnocchi instead of noodles because I’m lazy) and I feel like I’ve finally found a vegan Mac and cheese recipe that I was looking for!!! So good and easy.
That BBQ & Vegan Mac & Cheese craving is filled regularly here in Chicago Illinois! Soul Vegetarian East Restaurant serves Mac & Cheese With BBQ Tofu! 👍🧀❤️👌👏😋
This takes me back to 2012 when I wasn't vegan and watched chef John from Food wishes (I don't know if you know him). But when I went vegan in 2014 I never looked at his channel anymore, but I'm glad I found a vegan chef with the same chill vibe and style. Keep it up!
I made this last night and let me say it is the BEST recipe of vegan mac & cheese I have ever made, and trust me, I have made many! Brilliant job!!!!!!!!! Delicious, thank you! 😊👍💖
made this and it ruled... I did add a little of the sodium citrate (from the philly cheesesteak recipe) to make it extra creamy and it turned out great!!!
I grew up on team fork so I have a hard time switching to team spoon 🤷🏻♂️ If someone is. A,ing this for the first time I’d recommend keeping it simple. You can always add ingredients on the next batch (hint: red peppers) and even combine the two batches if you actually have leftovers. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Yes it's totally good in the fridge for like 2-3 days! Shoot, I should've mentioned that in the video! But yeah I like to have some handy to throw on tacos, breakfast sandwiches, potatoes etc! A little dollop will do ya!
Looks very good....but I found a much simpler recipe: Violife shredded vegan cheese; unsweetened almond milk and elbow mac. Everything is eyeballed....whisking the "cheese" sauce in crucial. A pinch of salt (to-taste) and voila! Or should I say "Violife"?
Try Cashew milk as a base, Miyokis Vegan Butter, kite hill cream cheese, and a vegan cheese of your choice melted all in a pot to make a delicious creamy cheese sauce! P.S. dont use to much milk and butter so it is nice and thick, add as needed!
Thank you, you saved my Mac n cheese gnocchi 🌈💕✨️ I spilled seasoning in the mozzeralla and needed a quick fix xD thankfully I still had some daiya lying around
I’m pretty sure you could make this gluten free with gluten free flour and gluten free pasta. Also if you do have sweetened vegan milk you can add lime juice.
Haha, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of a vegan who doesn't like broccoli. I have to admit, I love how he just makes cheese burgers, fried chicken, and tacos and is a vegan. I wonder how a vegan from the past would react if they saw that. "I only get my food from my garden fresh from the source"
Hmm, that's weird, I normally use all of the sauce for the mac, but if you have extra then you should be able to freeze it, but I can't guarantee it as I've never tried (though I really can't imagine what could go wrong). If I ever have leftover I usually just keep it in the fridge and use it on every meal haha.
@@TheeBurgerDude hah, yea I already came up with some ideas. Starting with a queso dip. But I used about half for 8oz of macaroni. And that amount was spot on. So maybe just my preference? Either way, it was delicious
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. I should add a note to add the sauce until you get the consistency you like and then save the rest. Glad you dug it!
@@TheeBurgerDude Update: I made a quesadilla, it was great not having to wait for the cheese to melt. Just got the tortilla to the right color on both sides and that was that.
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!
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!
There’s a lot of people that haven’t discovered nutritional yeast yet. Game changer! 🙌

I can’t bring myself to eat it. The smell (& taste) reminds me of fish food! 🤢 If I can taste it at all in a food I just can’t eat it.
Nooch FTW!
Was hurting inside looking at cashew prices today. This was a nice solution- been craving a mac and cheese. bless you burger dude!
It’s easier and tastier too!
I made this recipe tonight for dinner and it was amazing! BTW if you're using daiya shredded cheese, don't use as much as the recipe calls for. Daiya gets really thick and it doesn't pour so either don't use as much cheese or add more milk.

Try adding curry into the Mac and cheese. It’s truly delicious!
Thank you!!! Every other recipe claim to be easy, but are ridiculously complex.
I'm making this for this year's Thanksgiving! Can't wait!!!

Thank you! Yes chef John taught me how to cook prevegan. He’s a big influence 👍🏼
Makes two of us!
thought the exact same, vegan Food Wishes is the dream so pretty excited to find this channel!!!
@@baxterandcottonI actually love the challenge of converting recipes to vegan.
Wow just wow 🤤🤤 I was a fan of the typical cashews, potatoes, and carrots but quickly got over it. So very glad I found a new creamy recipe to try 🙌🏻
Nice, I hope you dig it!
Great videos! Love how you talk during the videos. Keep them coming!

I like to top it with buttery toasted panko. Good stuff, my dude.
Your sauce looks amazing!
YEEESSSS BBq Sauce and Mac is the business !!
I made this yesterday and honestly didn't expect much, but it actually tastes phenomenal. 👀🔥Thanks dude! 😎
Glad you liked it!!
You’re so funny and cool. And might I add, a great chef!! Thank you for the delicious recipes! 🤤
Potato Smiles make the world go round ❤
The Burger Dude: whisk it good
Me: whisk it real good
PS: I’m team spoon
and
I actually do come here for the silliness

I really enjoy your recipes and just ordered your cookbook.
Awesome! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Going raw vegan for the month of January and I just found you! Can't wait to try all of these in February 😄
Made it. Ate it. Loved it!...
Team Fork!!! Ketchup on Kraft Dinner is the bomb 💣
Omg I was laughing so much at the spoon/fork thing. You're so funny!
I have a secret ingredient (pickle juice) it sounds weird yes but it’s great
Absolutely love all of your content! Thanks so much for sharing this wealth of vegan goodness.
This looks amazing!
You’re Hilarious! The potato Smiles were adorable! Trying this recipe for Easter since my family is allergic to dairy. ❤
Hahaha love it! Thee Burger Dude ft. Smiley Tots 🔥
Those smiling 😬 potatoes made my day. For that, I say thank you, dude 😁
haha you're very welcome!
Can we use lactic acid in this? If we did what would the measurements be? Ty
Yeah! I would just add in a little at a time and season to taste. Maybe start with 1/2 tsp.
@@TheeBurgerDude 🙌
Ill try it, thanks Pal
❤ looks amazing going to try this Thank you for sharing this.
Always a good sign when the creator makes a double batch!
You should make a recipe of vegan hot pockets. I stop eating hot pockets because i was lactose.
Hey homie, have you ever tried refrigerating the cheez for future use? Thanks for the recipe king
Yes it's totally good in the fridge for like 2-3 days! Shoot, I should've mentioned that in the video! But yeah I like to have some handy to throw on tacos, breakfast sandwiches, potatoes etc! A little dollop will do ya!
We do BBQ soy curls & mac&cheez. with a big salad, perfect for dinner in front of a movie!
Damn! I love this channel with all my heart!
Mac and cheese for dinner tomorrow I’m gonna use this recipe.
where do you get the potato smilies from?
❤️ AMAZING! Dude, Thee Burger Dude out here with the potato smiles n aaaaallaa dat, SHEEEEESH!!! 😄💥💜🍔🍟🍔🍟
So awesome! Thanks so much. May Jesus bless you!
I 💕 BBQ sauce on mac n cheese and also ketchup!
Bbq sauce is so good!!
My favorite thing used to be the Annie’s white cheddar shells is there a way to make a “white cheddar” version of vegan Mac and cheese?
Oh my yum
Team Spoon ALWAYS 🥄

Those potato smiles rock with that Mac & cheese!!!😆😆😆👍
Team Spoon All The Way!
Yes king!
I like my vegan cheese sauce with broccoli and chickpeas or shirataki tofu elbow pasta.
I’m pretty sure you could make this gluten free with gluten free flour and gluten free pasta. Also if you do have sweetened vegan milk you can add lime juice.
So yummy

First commenter on one of my favourite channels’ videos.
the best vegan channel ever :D
What kind of plant milk was it? Cashew or something?
Salsa on Mac n cheese is also Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Potato smiles on mac and cheez, you're actually a genius.
Are those smiling tatoes yours? I've not heard of them :^) Are they store-bought or a recipe? Which vegan butter do you like?
They are made by McCain, they’re called Potato Smiles. I like earth balance, miyokos, kite hill for butter.
I am binge watching all your videos…
It really is the easiest! Don't have to waste time soaking this and that 😌
I definitely didn’t come here for the cheesy potato smiles but I’m definitely staying for them
I dont use wheat flour is there a gluten free alternative?
I haven't experimented with GF flour yet (I plan to in the future) so I can't make a suggestion!
Team spoon all the way! I like to add a little liquid smoke to my sauce.
Hey. I ended up with a bunch of extra sauce. Can I freeze it?
Hmm, that's weird, I normally use all of the sauce for the mac, but if you have extra then you should be able to freeze it, but I can't guarantee it as I've never tried (though I really can't imagine what could go wrong).

I am binging your videos while hungry.. I think this is a form of torture. Do you deliver?! 🤗
Yes but only to my mouth. 😬
"double batch" is assuming an awful lot about me lol
Can you make the mcdonald's Arch Deluxe
I can do that for a short video for sure lol
Are you vegan burger dude? Or do you just make vegan food? Love your content!
Yep, been vegan for over 2 years now!
b-brother?
@@TheeBurgerDude We're Loving It!
Team Spoon! 😆
Yummm
My dad makes the best gluten-free/vegan Macaroni and Cheese whether he makes it with Fusilli or Penne.
Team fork because it forces me to eat it slower which means I get to enjoy it longer lollll.
haha fair enough!
Throw in some mustard powder and sriracha!
Did I miss something? I didn’t see you add the pasta.
LOL
Nooch is delicious
Team spoon!

Definitely in the future! I can't see that not happening!
3:45 ooo yesssss...need!
Team spoon all the way, why leave all that cheese sauce at the bottom of the bowl?
Nahhhh. Garlic salt and salt and pepper are to waaaaay different spices 😂 This is awesome though.
Team fork all the way.
Great recipe except ill be skipping the turmeric as it has No place in a traditional mac and cheese
