Vegan "Cheeseburger" Macaroni
Submitted by: Gayle
I tried this recipe tonight. It seemed like it would be somewhat of a comfort
food. It turned out pretty good. My kids - even the pickiest ones loved it and
even asked for more. There is a small amount of fat in this recipe from the
vegan cheese (2 grams per serving - 1 serving = 30 gr). I'm hoping this tiny
amount doesn't upset anyone. I apologize in advance if it does. It's so hard to
find recipes that are virtually fat free that my kids like - this one fit the
bill so I thought I'd share it. If you try this I hope you like it.
1 Cup Not Beef - ground style or any vegan beef substitute = to 1 pound -
