Vegan Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Finnish Style (Vegaani Makaronilaatikko)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and chop the onion.

Step 2

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. While it is cooking, melt the vegan butter in a skillet and whisk in the flour. Let it cook about a minute but don’t brown.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the oat cream and let it cook until bubbling. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vegan cheddar, water, pepper and salt if using.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 9x13” baking dish with vegan butter and pour in the cooked drained pasta. Add the beefless crumbles, chopped onion, and the vegan cheese sauce. Stir until well combined. Sprinkle on a few more vegan cheese shreds if desired.

Step 5

Bake the vegan macaroni for about 35-40 minutes uncovered. Serve with ketchup.
