I'm trying to recreate the Kraft mac & cheese that I grew up with and so far haven't landed on the holy grail yet, but I'm encountering some great recipes along the way!
Try sweet potato mac https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-soups-stews/sweet-potato-chili-with-kale/
I think this comes the closest
a recipe by Kris and modified by Corina
100ml Oatley cream (or extra margarine and add veganaise)
1T flour (only if using cream)
2T margarine
1t mustard
2-4 slices of cheese (Simply V Character)
2T nutritional yeast
3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft, but my new fav is Japanese ramen noodles)
Optional: Dacon, 1 red bell pepper/cucumber/cabbage/mango pico de gallo
- Boil the pasta and strain
- Put everything (except the pasta and optional ingredients) in a pot on medium heat and stir until mixed/melted
- Add the cooked pasta and optional ingredients
- Garnish with black pepper and/or chili powder, and lots more nutritional yeast
For a butter-free, extra cheese-free recipe, Queso Sauce by Forks over Knives is good if you add oil (sunflower) while blending to get the fat content up. Also, make it more liquidy by adding more water.
Thin sauce like Kraft, but taste is still not there (though how would I know when it's been over 20 years since I tasted Kraft?)
a recipe by Richard Makin and modified by Corina
4T nutritional yeast
4T corn starch
1T mustard
2t salt
250ml Oatley cream
2T margarine
Pinch smoked paprika powder
3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft)
- Put everything (except the pasta) in a pot on medium heat and stir until mixed
- Add the pasta, garnish with black pepper
Similar to Annie's sweet potato pumpkin mac & cheese
a recipe by Chocolate Covered Kate and modified by Corina
0.5 C cashews (soaked overnight)
1 carrot (boiled until soft)
0.25 C nutritional yeast
1t apple cider vinegar
0.5 C water
1T margarine
1t salt
Pinch nutmeg
3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft)
- Put everything (except the pasta) in a blender and blend until the chunks are gone
- Pour into a pan on low heat and add...
4 slices cheese (a cheddar kind is best - SimplyV Character in Germany)
Lots more salt (2t?)
Black pepper
- Stir until the cheese is melted, then add the cooked noodles. Taste again and add more things as needed
Note: this recipe actually has protein in it from the cashews (about 20g) and the noodles (about 10g)
